Regulations and Guidelines
This competition is an anonymous competition, and the Team Code is the only method of identification.
The official language of the competition is English.
If a cancellation is made within 3 days after payment, a 100% refund will be provided (excluding any applicable bank and gateway fees). If a cancellation is made within 3-10 days after payment, a 50% refund will be provided (excluding any applicable bank and gateway fees). No refunds will be given for cancellations made after 10 days.
Participants are prohibited from contacting the competition judges, as doing so will result in disqualification. Any form of corrupt behavior is strictly prohibited, and if discovered, it will be reported to the relevant authorities.
The organizers reserve the right to modify the competition schedule if necessary. Any modifications will be notified to the participants at least ten days in advance through official communications, emails, and social media accounts. Please continue to follow these channels for updates.
Under no circumstances should any party use the competition materials for any purposes, such as construction, in whole or in part, even if modifications have been made to the submitted materials.
Participants should demonstrate through sketches and working materials that the design is created by human architects and does not involve the use of artificial intelligence or similar generative architecture. The only exception is if the design explicitly states the intention to use artificial intelligence as part of the innovative design process, but even in such cases, the human-led process must still be evident.
Participants have no right to request monetary or any other form of compensation in lieu of prizes, nor do they have the right to receive any compensation from the organizers beyond what is stipulated in these rules.
By registering for the competition, each participant accepts these terms and acknowledges the authority of the judges and the finality of the judging results.
The organizers have the right to review all competition conditions and, in the event of any dispute, to deliberate and make the final decision on any matters related to the competition. The organizers reserve the right to disqualify participants who violate the competition rules or withhold prizes from them.
The website owner, organizers, or other partners may choose to publicly exhibit all or part of the competition entries at their discretion.
Participants retain all copyrights to their designs. The website owner, organizers, or other partners have the right to publish all competition entries in print and digital publications. Proper attribution will be given to all projects when published or exhibited.
The first round of review and evaluation will be conducted by the organizers and hosting party, primarily to conduct eligibility checks on the submitted entries. Entries with correct titles, registration numbers, on-time submissions (SOT), and the correct number of design concepts and boards will make it to the longlist.
The second round of judging will be conducted by selected members of the jury based on the evaluation criteria. The shortlist will then be determined and announced.
The final judging will be chaired by the jury chairman and all key members. The public voting results will account for 15% of the weight in this round of judging. The shortlisted winners will be selected, and the winners of each subcategory will be determined.
In each round of the judging process, the attendance rate of jury members must reach 50% to be considered valid for the judging results.
