Students at John Brown University are participating in a contest to create temporary housing for disaster victims.
A non-profit group called World Vision is sponsoring a nationwide contest, asking students to design temporary shelters that are easy to put together, aren't too expensive and can withstand the elements.
Judges will sleep in all five of the shelters Friday night -- to decide which construction project is the best.
The winner will be announced Saturday afternoon - and will have a shot at becoming the new disaster relief shelter used by World Vision.
