Three winners have been selected out of a final group of five shortlisted entries for the Canadian Institute of Steel Construction (CISC)’s 2021–22 Architectural Student Design Competition.

Students in the competition's seventh edition were invited to design a pedestrian bridge across a theoretical body of water in Canada. Teams representing Ryerson University and the University of Waterloo took home cash prizes totaling $8,000, $4,000, and $2,000 a piece, with another $3,500 going to Waterloo’s Terri Meyer Boake for her duties as faculty advisor to all but one of the final group of entries.

DIALOG Partner Doug Cinnamon was among the five-member panel chaired by fellow architect Paul Laurendeau. Submissions for the 2022–23 cycle, which asks students to design a new performance venue, will be opened on May 1st, 2023. More information about next year’s competition can be found here.
