The site includes a full, downloadable Competition Manual for those wishing to enter the competition. Next, we have engaged with the local, national and international media through several media releases through the competition process. We have released the information through USNewswire and a targeted media list we assembled of the top news reporters covering architecture around the country, such as the Chicago Tribune’s Blair Kamin, as well as architecture and design trade publications and bloggers. We have issued two news releases on the Competition so far, one when the contest was launched and the other when the Jury was selected. That second release also invited interested parties and the public to attend the competition’s pre-submittal briefing.

The intent is for the project documentation to show projects by the Lead Designer(s) and so should be included within the three per discipline. Material in addition to the stated limits will not be considered.
