2025 program

Register yourself or your team (up to 3 students) before registrations close on Friday, 1 August at 12 pm AEST.

Attend the reading of the brief session on Thursday, 31 July at 1 pm AEST. If you miss this, don’t worry, it will be recorded and shared online. You then have overnight to decide if you want to join and register online. 

During the week of Super Studio, take part in optional activities like mentoring and design talks to connect with industry professionals and receive guidance on your proposal. 

Mandatory components to compete (state level)
To be eligible for prizes and to compete in Super Studio, participants must make an online submission and attend the presentation day in their state or territory to present their proposal to the jury.

Mandatory components to complete (national level)
One winner from each state level will be selected, and from this group, the national jury will announce a shortlist. This short list of teams will be invited to present again to the national jury in a live online presentation on Friday, 15 August.  The national winner will be announced in this session. 

The national competition  brief will be revealed on Thursday, 31 July, 1 pm AEST

This online session is an opportunity to ask questions and hear from the team that wrote the brief. 

It is strongly advised that all participants attend this session. If you cannot, the brief will be shared post-event. 

Mentoring is not mandatory, but it is strongly recommended all participants attend their nominated face-to-face and virtual mentoring sessions.

This is a chance for your team to have a one-on-one mentoring session with an industry professional to develop your Super Studio design and concept. 

At the time of registration for Super Studio, teams can select their preferred mentoring time. 

Teams of up to 3 people can participate in Super Studio. 

If you prefer to work solo that’s fine! 

If you would like help help finding a team, let us know at the time of registration and we will try our best to connect you to a team. Keep an eye on your emails from sona@architecture.com.au 

Submission requirements will be explained in the Super Studio brief. Submitting your proposal is one part of the process, to be eligible. Teams then must participate in the presentation day (which is the fun part)!

If you experience any issues, notify us at sona@architecture.com.au

All Super Studio Participants get the chance to present their idea to the local jury and fellow Super Studio teams at the presentation day in their state/territory.  The local jury will announce the winner. 

SONA reps in each state/territory help to plan the presentation day to make it a fun and supportive environment. Typically food and drinks will be provided with a chance to enjoy the experience and celebrate with other Super Studio teams. 

The winning projects from the state and territory levels will be assessed by the national jury. Four teams will be shortlisted and invited to present their proposal again in a live online session on Friday, 15 August 9 am AEST. Following the presentations, the national jury will deliberate and announce the national winner. 

This is a new component of Super Studio, we are excited to make this session free and open to all Super Studio participants and supporters as the top teams present and we award the national winner.
