NEW! - Students as authors
Together with a fully-qualifiedarchitect, students can become involved asassociates and authors of projects. This includescredits in all national and European publications and exhibitions. 

Here are 10 points as a short reminder for Europan 15:

1. Europan is directed at young professionals in architectural and urban design under 40 years of age with a European degree or working in Europe. Each team must include at least one architect. Students can become associates as well. 

2. Europan is a call for projects providingideas onthe urban and architectural scale, followed by implementations.

3. Europan is a European federation of the national structures organising the competitions, launched simultaneously on a common theme and with common objectives.

4. Rules and judging methods are identical in all participating countries. The competitions are open, public, European and anonymous. Competitors can register freely in the country of their choice.

5. A series of urban sites in European towns, accompanied with a programmatic brief, is presentedto competitors. Competitors shouldsubmit their projects on the site(s) of their choice – if there is more than one site, these mustbe in different countries.

6. Each project must have two types of entry: firstly, a strategic reflection project responding to the topic and urban challenges on the territorial scale of the site and secondly an urban-architectural project on a defined area of the site. 
Submissions are made on the Europan website. 3 panels as well as 3 images and a short text for the project outline must be included. 

7. In each country a national jury of experts preselects the most innovativeprojects per site. The Europan Scientific Council then compares and analyses these projects on a European level, launching the debate between the sites’ representatives and the jury members during a specialforum. Then, the national juries meet a second time to make the final decision.

8. Each jury designates –for each country– winners and runners-up, who receive a prize. Some non-rewarded projects may receive a special mention.

9. The Europan organisers then help the prize-winning teams to obtain commissions. After the results are announced, meetings are organised foreach site with the city representatives, the juries and the winning teams.

10. Prize-winning projects are exhibited and published ata national level. The results are promoted on the European scale and an Inter-Sessions Forum is organized to discuss the results with the winning teams, the sites’ representatives, the juries and the organisers.
