Hello, my name is Steven Santander, I am an architecture student at the New Jersey School of Architecture at NJIT. I have a question about the student door contest. I was wondering what was the requirement for the entry drawings. I realize that we may submit as many drawings as we need, but should they technical drawings, sketches, conceptual ideas, rendering, etc? Should the drawings show the assembly of the door and construction details or just inital design ideas? Can you please respond as soon as possible, thank you very much.

Thank you for voicing questions that many fellow contestants may have as entries are refined before the February 29 deadline.
Drawings should communicate a door concept to the best of your ability to show that the design meets all the judging criteria, including suitability for contemporary architecture, usability as a functioning entry door or entry system, creativity, uniqueness, and thorough attention to detail.
Take a look at previous winners’ drawings for format ideas. The online entry form should also help clarify. Drawings must fit in one electronic file that can be uploaded with the essay and information. Best wishes to every contestant as you prepare and upload your entries.
