INTERNATIONAL and NON-WGTN Submissions

International and Non-Wellington residents (or those who can’t make the Briefing at SOAD on Friday evening) should Register their Team to 20under40@gmail.com, with your team name, and if you are a student team.

This can be/should be done within the 24 hour window preceding the competition launch time (Friday 6th March 6.30pm NZST). During the hour of 6.30-7.30pm you will be sent your Team Number (to be used on all documentation, so as to keep all submissions anonymous) as well as the all-important BRIEF, and any supplementary documentation.

You will also be provided with the Account Number of the Architecture Centre, which you are to deposit your NZ$10 Entry Fee ($10 per Team) in immediately via internet or manual deposit on the Friday or following Banking day. You should use your Team Number and Name to identify this payment clearly.

Please note:
-all work labelled anonymously only with TEAM NUMBER (which you will be provided with via email following your registration).
-If you register for the competition (taken as a genuine request for the Brief) you will be held responsible for the Entry Fee, and subsequently at the wrath of the Architecture Centre Treasurer if your fee is not received in due time.
-Submission format will be digital, obviously, and should only be submitted at screen resolution (for exhibition and judging), the submission format (size/format/number of page) is open, but expected to be ‘reasonable’.
-You are encouraged to keep (archived on your own computer) your work at High Resoltuion for the possibility of publishing and of course your own portfolio. You are also allowed to upload video via YouTube or similar sharing website if that is your chosen media.
