Primordial Wizards 2525
The Primordial Wizards 2525 is a contest created to inspire more black youth to pursue careers in the nation-building professions of Architecture, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Medicine. As it stands, only 2% of all licensed architects in the United States are Black, and only 6% of all STEM workers in the United States are Black. This means that we have a tiny percentage of black people in this country with nation-building skills. It is a must that we fill that void.
We understand that countless young Black geniuses in our culture are often unheard of and overlooked, who can if pushed to the forefront, lead the world into an age that many people can't even fathom.
This is the legend of our wizardry.
​
The 2525 part of the title represents 500 years into the future. The objective of this contest is for the contestants to imagine what they think the world would look like in the far future, up to 500 years from now, and create a project based on that imagery. No matter how outlandish, every project must be functional in the real world. It must also be environmentally friendly. See below for contest details.
Contest Details
Contestants will be allowed to sign up in only one of three categories called "dimensions".
