Submission Requirements

1. For each project, submit one 40" by 40", 1/4" thick foam core design submission board displaying drawings, photographs, sketches and narrative to fully explain the project. Models may not be submitted.

2. On a 2" identification strip at the bottom of the design submission board provide the project name, project location, architect's firm name and owner's name. The identification strip must be covered at the time of submittal until after the jury has completed its deliberations. It will be removed for the exhibition. The material covering the information strip could be masking tape, or black 20# paper. A thicker paper stock will impede the board from sliding into the display system.
