Presented by Design Ignites Change and AIGA

Designers who have developed a strong concept to ignite change in their community, along with a well-conceived and researched plan for execution, are invited to apply for the Sylvia Harris Citizen Design Award for $10,000 toward implementation of their project.

Sylvia Harris (1953 – 2011) is widely recognized as a pioneer, a generous mentor and a vital inspiration to the field of social impact design. In that spirit, the Sylvia Harris Citizen Design Award has been established to honor her legacy by supporting other vanguards dedicated to public design.
