dreamArchitecture AIA Birmingham’s “Draw Your Dream” Art Contest is a community outreach program designed to promote public awareness of Architecture and foster awareness of our “Magic City” Downtown City Center. The first “Draw Your Dream” Art Contest was held in 1997. Since that time, the contest has involved numerous themes, including “Draw Your Dream House” , “Draw Your Dream City Skyscraper” and “Draw Your Dream Downtown”. These themes allow children to explore the possibilities of the downtown buildings where people live, work and play.
