The production of a quality project offers a budding architect or designer many things: a stimulating challenge, practical experience, additional training, and a possible first built realisation of a project. At the same time, however, it undoubtedly comes of having a good mentor.

Professors, lecturers, program executors and other experts are thus invited to become ambassadors of the project and offer their students valuable motivation and guidance with practical advice.

There are many ways to participate in the Competition:

- Competition presentations at your lectures or seminars, whereby a visiting project representative provides information and first-hand answers.
- Inclusion of the competition task / brief in the seminar or curicular process, thereby enriching learning experiences and theoretical knowledge by addressing a real situation, learning about materials, thinking about and working with them, and testing theoretical solutions in practice.
- Expert advice to participating students, helping them find a balance between the architectural / design idea and concrete technical possibilities.

The competition also contributes to the visibility of the faculty, as it encourages the comparison of approaches by different architecture and design schools in Europe and around the world, and offers participants the opportunity of international networking.

We are continuously expanding the participation of many internationally renowned faculties and experts, whose advice and ideas help us shape new challenges each year. This year we are welcoming the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, AA School of Architecture, The Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment, Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, Faculty of Architecture, Venice IUAV, Polytechnic di Milano, TU Delft and others.
