We’re bringing in five new design students from universities throughout the DC metro area to battle it out at our second annual Design Battle.

Congratulations Class of 2012!!

Do you have what it takes to be the Design Battle Champion? Do you have the skills, the eyes, and swagger to emerge the victor of this elimination battle? Design Battle is a live action design competition between 5 designers judged by a panel of DC designers right then and there. The last man standing after elimination is the winner!
