<p style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(189, 2, 69);">
Deadline: 24 October 2008
Projects shortlisted for the 1st Cycle are being voted by our Honorary Members. The results will be announced on 20 September 2008.
All projects submitted after 25 July 2008 will be evaluated for the 2nd Cycle.</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="font-weight: bold;">The aim of the WA Community Awards is to highlight and publish remarkable projects that might otherwise remain unnoticed by the international public but have the potential to inspire exciting questions about contemporary architectural discourse.</p>
<p>
<span style="color: rgb(189, 2, 69); font-weight: bold;">What is distinctive about WA Awards
</span></p>
<p>Awarding follows a most <b>democratic</b> procedure where all member’s ratings and the votes of all Honorary Members are effective in the final decisions.
Registrations are <b>completely FREE</b> so that all architects can participate both as candidates and judges.</p>
<p>
<span style="color: rgb(189, 2, 69); font-weight: bold;">Eligibility:</span></p>
<p>Architects from ALL countries can submit ALL of their buildings <b>(realized or not)</b> for the appreciation of the WA Community. Recent projects (not older than 10 years) will have more chances to be shortlisted for the Awards. <b>Students, landscape architects, engineers</b> may also submit for the awards projects they are the author of: we do not check or accredit diplomas.
Projects submitted to the WA Portal between 25 July -24 October 2008 will be considered for the 2nd Cycle. <b>All projects submitted earlier can be reconsidered if their pages are updated with significant new material by their architects</b>.</p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(189, 2, 69); font-weight: bold;">Criteria for Recognition:</span></p>
<p>NOVELTY; ORIGINALITY, and CREATIVITY in design that reflect and inspire a commitment to the art of architecture are the major criteria. The WA Portal tries to bridge the gap between theory and practice: thus the architect’s explanations and member’s discussions on submissions will be critical for recognition as much as the design itself.</p>
<p>
<span style="color: rgb(189, 2, 69); font-weight: bold;">Timetable:</span></p>
<p>Deadline for submissions to be evaluated for the 2nd Cycle is <b>October 24, 2008.</b> Please note that early submissions will have more chances to be recognized and move higher in the ranks before the Final Assessment Panel.
In November the shortlisted projects will be online for all members to examine and discuss.
The Panel will complete the voting process, and announce the selected projects during December 2008.
At this last stage, the <b>“Most Mind-provoking +X”</b> projects also will be determined by examining the discussions posted to the pages of the projects.</p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(189, 2, 69); font-weight: bold;">Categories:</span></p>
<p>Choosing the “Building Type” is a standard procedure during submissions to the WA Community Portal. The Final Panel (and members) may choose to award projects of any category without any limitation. Forcing them to choose a certain number for each category appears not to be relevant for our aims.</p>
<p>
<span style="color: rgb(189, 2, 69); font-weight: bold;">Assessment and Awarding:</span></p>
<p>Selection for the Awards will follow two complementary tracks:</p>
<p><b>Member ratings</b> will determine the <b>10 top-rated projects</b> of the “Members’ Awards” and also help shaping the shortlist for the Final Assessment Panel.
<b>Votes of the Final Assessment Panel</b> will specify <b>20 projects</b> from the shortlist following the aim of the awards. <b>Honorary Members</b> of the WA Community who may wish to take part in online voting will constitute the Final Assessment Panel.</p>
<p>Honorary Members of WA Community and other interested members are invited to examine all projects and write about them.</p>
<p><b>Submitted commentaries</b> will also be examined at a final evaluation to select the <b>“Most Mind-provoking +X”</b> projects.
<b>Eventually, an anthology of theoretical, critical, and literary interpretations will develop for each of the awarded projects which will be published in the “WA Community 20+10+X Awards Book” .</b></p>
<p>
<span style="color: rgb(189, 2, 69); font-weight: bold;">Shortlisting of the Projects:</span></p>
<p>Submissions that are properly formatted and presented are CITED and selectively shortlisted on the main page by the editorial team considering the rating of the members. Maximum 3 buildings of each architect might be cited and shortlisted, but the editors and the Final Panel will regard the presentation at the ARCHITECT PAGE and other BUILDING PAGES of the architect as a whole.</p>
