Q. Which architecture and design competitions are available to students?

Though not comprehensive, refer to the Design Competitions Guide, or consider these annual drawing competitions, 

Another consideration is to redraw something in the region or someplace you'd like to visit this summer,

• Annual Holland Prize (https://www.nps.gov/subjects/heritagedocumentation/holland-prize.htm)
• Heritage Competitions coordinated by the National Park Service and the Library of Congress,https://www.nps.gov/subjects/heritagedocumentation/competitions.htm
• The HALS Challenge looks like fun too,  https://www.nps.gov/subjects/heritagedocumentation/hals-challenge.htm

These competitions fit nicely in summer break and provide a good excuse to travel!

You are more than welcome to schedule an in person or virtual research appointment to flush out ideas, or get help locating existing drawings,
