Top prize winners earn paid summer internships at firms in Chicago, or a prestigious apprenticeship at Taliesin, Frank Lloyd Wright's School of Architecture in Spring Green, Wisconsin. CAF is one of the only organizations in the country to collaborate with Taliesin for teen programs. Read more about the Newhouse Competition here.
