The 17-year-old entered the competition because architecture is her passion, as it's something she always loves doing, Malave said, noting it's a field she wants to pursue as a career. The universities of Waterloo and Carleton have piqued her interest as possible post-secondary schools. "Because I know how competitive a field architecture is, I might want to do a sustainable design course at OCAD (University), then maybe move onto Carleton or Waterloo," said Malave. Entries were judged on design concept, overall presentation, technical detail and drawing quality. The jury consisted of architectural and guest judges. One of three honourable mentions went to 16-year-old Adam Farrow, a Grade 11 Holy Trinity Catholic Secondary School student for his entry titled Sail. His mostly-glass project was inspired by the sailboats in the Oakville Harbour and "how great the view is," Farrow said. "It was challenging coming up with a unique sculpture design and making the model the way I would like it and making the board the way I like," said Farrow, noting it took him about 30 hours to complete. The Holy Trinity student comes from a family of architects and has always had a fondness for the field, which is why he participated in the contest, Farrow said. "Building and designing stuff has always been a passion of mine. When I saw a contest like this, it was right up my alley," said Farrow, who is considering going to the University of Ottawa for architecture. The other honourable mentions, along with iTunes gift cards, went to Dario Taylor from St. Ignatius of Loyola and Ali Salama from Garth Webb Secondary School. Past designs included a reusable and collapsible main stage and area for the Oakville Jazz Festival, a little league announcer's booth and a skating rink, among others.

Every year John Willmott hopes to inspire Oakville students to embrace the creativity of architecture via the student design competition. Launched by the local businessman in 2011, the annual John Willmott Architect, Inc.-backed contest helps local Grade 11 and 12 students, who have an interest in design and/or are pursuing a career in the architectural field. Of the 28 submissions received this year, the top three were announced recently at the Holiday Inn Oakville Centre. In first place was Grade 12 St. Mildred'sLightbourn School student Siren Xiang for her submission called Ethereal, which garnered her a MacBook Air laptop. Jack Xu, a Grade 12 St. Ignatius of Loyola Catholic Secondary School student placed second with his The Shell entry and took home a GoPro Hero4 sports camera, while Grade 12 T.A. Blakelock High School student Kaitlyn Malave finished third. This year's challenge was to design a new lighthouse for the pier at Oakville Harbour. Malave, 17, who received Beats headphones as a prize for her design, The Oakville Torch, had her blueprint built on the idea of Old Oakville as "its heart. I wanted the lighthouse to reflect that. That's where I originally got the idea for the torch as the source of energy for the community. " "My main goal coming into this competition was sticking through and pushing my limits... seeing what I can create for myself and what I can learn from it." She noted the composition contains poured concrete on the inside, the exoskeletal support is made of structural steel beams and the staircase is glass, among other components. Brainstorming the concept was easy for Malave, but creating a physical and digital model, and technical drawings, were more difficult. "My original idea contained a lot of details that technically I didn't learn how to do yet. Teaching myself how to get all those precise angles of the curves and the small components that made up
