Competition Process

Each design will be blindly scored by a selection jury of community members representing a wide range of subject matter experts across Anderson County. The community will also be invited to view submissions and select their top choices as part of the final score in a three-week window. The original designer retains the rights to build the designs included in this document. AHHA and TTF shall have the right to share the winning designs in a design book and on the AHHA website with individuals and not-for-profits as an architectural set only.
