- Images: max. 5 photos indoors the document and max. 5 photos outdoors. The images must be high resolution (300 dpi) and the photographer’s name must always be given.
- Projects that are in the final stage of realisation may be submitted: it must however be possible to visit the site in order to assess the project. Photos of the finished building may be submitted until the end of May 2024.
- In addition to submitting your own projects, it is also possible to refer to other projects. If, for example, this e-mail does not reach foreign colleagues, we would ask for your assistance or your nominations: we will then request the necessary documentation.
Procedure
On the first jury day, the jurors will review all projects online then make a shortlist. The shortlisted projects will be inspected on site on the three or four subsequent jury days.We would be grateful for your help in organising the on-site inspections or contacting the project principal (as indicated in the project data sheet). It is not our intention for a photographer to take photos of all projects. Based upon the positive experiences of the last edition, we would ask you to provide us with high-resolution images (300 dpi) for the purposes of the exhibition, its communication and publication (we are planning a trilingual catalogue in German, Italian and English for distribution by an international publisher). Please therefore clearly establish all image rights. As for previous editions, the exhibition will be designed as a travelling exhibition. Following its first presentation at Kunst Meran/o Arte at the end of October 2024, the exhibition will be staged at other locations in Central Europe.
