ELIGIBILITY

1 Who Can Enter

Entries are encouraged from individuals, groups, partnerships, and those working for larger practices. Those working for larger practices must provide written evidence from their principal in the employing office guaranteeing that the work is that of the entrant(s).

2 Completed Work

ar d emerging architecture celebrates excellence in completed work. Entries can be made for any building, interior, landscape, urban or product design.

3 Categories

Categories will not be decided beforehand, but decided on by the Jury. Entries to previous awards represented some of the following areas:

* Buildings--new build and refurbishment: offices, shops, schools, houses, housing, industrial, transport, restaurants, recreational, cultural, municipal and religious

* Interiors--new build and refurbishment: similar to building category, in particular restaurants, shops, houses, clubs and galleries

* Urban design

* Product design--light fittings, architectural design, furniture, cladding, and structural systems

* Street Furniture--lights, bus stops, bollards, post boxes, signs

* Landscape--soft and hard

* Bridges

* Temporary or portable structures--exhibition stands

* Theatre works

4 Age Restriction

The age limit of 45 has been chosen on the basis that many emerging architects are unable to realize designs or develop an original vision before that time, either because of the long education and training period, or because of lack of opportunity.
