2025 "Small Firms, Great Projects" Program, 20th Edition

Ends on

We're thrilled to announce that Small Firms, Great Projects (SFGP) is back, and it's better than ever! Small Firms, Great Projects offers a platform for small business owners to amplify their firm's visibility in print and online. In its 20th Edition, Small Firms, Great Projects explores the theme of Design Matters. Whether as a verb or a noun, Design Matters invites you to share work that makes an impact and engages with critical topics shaping the built environment today. Think adaptive reuse, ADUs, disaster-resilience design, downtown revitalization, and more. Small firms are encouraged to share how they lead through collaboration, craft, and contextual thinking.

Save the date for the SFGP launch party on October 16, 2025!
