How to improve your chances:
• Please submit your documents as listed in the announcement (the maximum format for plans is A3, folded; photos as colour prints or colour copies). Do not send us any rolled plans or boards, ring binders, brochures or similar. Nor will we accept slides or digital photos on CD/DVD.
• When selecting pictures and motifs, remember the photos should give the jury as comprehensive an impression of the building as possible – both its exterior and the interior. That applies not only to the architecture but also to the living atmosphere. In order to show how the house is integrated into the urban context, outdoor photos should also include the surroundings. The interior should be photographed in its occupied state, i.e. furnished.
• The building must be totally completed by the time the entry is submitted: do not submit any construction site photos, renderings, computer simulations or similar, they cannot be given consideration. Image manipulations (e.g. falsifying image processing, other visualisations etc., that go beyond the usual extent of retouching, photomontages, other visualisations or similar) are to be clearly marked as such – they are otherwise inadmissible and can lead to the exclusion of the participant at a later date.
• Please use our form for the project sheet (see pdf form for download and completion). It provides a clear and uniform summary of the most important project data and information and gives the jury a quick but comprehensive overall idea of the project.
• The project description should be as brief and concise as possible – the most important information about the design concept will usually fit on one sheet of A4. The preliminary judging will be much easier for the jury if they don’t have to work their way through mountains of paper!
