Guidelines and Supporting Documents
An entry must be submitted along with a detailed description of the project and its special features, as well as details of the location, area, responsible architect / shopfitting company, suppliers, etc.
As in planning of a store concept, details must not be disregarded. Plese clearly explain the special features of your project to the jury, for example: The basic planning ideas, challenges in accomplishing the project and how they were overcome, what materials or colours were chosen and why, innovative elements, technical innovations, etc.
Photos are the best means to convey as accurate a picture of the store to the jury. You should therefore enclose 8 photos or more showing different views of the project along with your entry.
