How it works:

• Pull together a team of designers, builders, animal lovers, and other interested individuals. 
• Design and build a doghouse or a cat tree.
• Your team will be paired with a business, where your creation will be displayed.  Deliver your abode and let the bidding begin!
• Collect awards for CATegory champions and help Young-Williams raise some DOGgone money for their efforts.
• See your creation provide joy for an animal!

Critical Considerations:

• Your structure should be able to fit (whole or for assembly) through a standard 34” door.
• You will need to deliver your structure to its display site.
• You may need to assist the buyer of your structure in transporting it from the display site or provide them an assembly diagram.  
• Materials matter—both for moving and for Most Sustainable Design!  What can you keep out of a landfill as you create your structure?
