How do I register for the competition?
A faculty sponsor is required to enroll students by completing an online Registration Form. Complete a form for your entire studio or for each individual student or team of students participating. Students or teams wishing to enter the competition on their own must have a faculty sponsor, who should complete the form. There is no entry or submission fee to participate in the competition.

How large of a file can be digitally submitted?
For submission and judging there is a 25MB per document limit. We suggest a 150 dpi resolution for the individual submission boards.
Why aren鈥檛 my boards uploading to the submission site?
Confirm that each board is a PDF or JPEG (25MB or less). Each board must be uploaded individually in the order you prefer the boards to be viewed. Please be patient, this process can take several minutes depending upon the size of the file you are uploading.
How will my digital boards be arranged?
Your boards (1-4) will be arranged in the following manner when displayed to the jury:
What is the jury process?
First, each jury member will review the projects on their personal computers. The jury then meets in person to make their final selections. Boards are projected, digitally, at the final jury.
The boards I uploaded to the submission site have been converted to low-resolution JPEGs.
The submission site automatically converts the digital boards (PDF or JPEG) into low-resolution thumbnails. Your original submitted boards are stored in the database for juror review, as submitted. If you would like to control the thumbnail quality, original submissions should be in JPEG format.
How is the abstract/essay and program brief (if applicable) submitted?
Both the abstract and the program brief are completed during the student submission process. The abstract/essay and program brief are text boxes for copy/paste or typing of contents. The abstract can also appear on the submission boards, if you chose, but is required to be submitted separately in the abstract/essay text box.
