Now Casting Design-Duos
The Palmetto Design Challenge is now seeking applications from South Carolina-based designer-contractor teams ready to compete.
Are you a hands-on designer or contractor with a bold point of view? Do you live and work in South Carolina? Is your duo creatively fearless and technically sharp? Do you have a signature style that's unmistakably your own — and a deep connection to South Carolina's culture, landscape, and way of life?

If so, you can apply here: https://forms.gle/kzdyntYAvivPcRfq9
The Palmetto Design Challenge is produced by Hit + Run. Executive Producers for Hit + Run are Rob Shaftel and Noah Korn. The series is produced in partnership with the South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism (SCPRT).
