Thank you to our community for submitting such creative and engaging ideas!
We’re excited to announce we received 70+ SDF 2026 proposals. These submissions represent over 84 partner firms and organizations, representing over 260 individual multi-disciplinary designers!
The Festival Planning Team will be carefully reviewing all proposals over the next week, with acceptance notifications beginning to go out on June 5. We’re excited to be awarding funding this year, with priority given to first-time partners whose work strongly aligns with our Festival goals of inclusivity, innovation, and community engagement.
