Evaluation criteria

Juries will judge entries based on the following criteria:

• Strength, innovation and originality of the proposal
• Demonstrate the prize themes through direct interpretation of, and new thinking about, an existing space in the public domain within NSW
• Clearly outline the rationale behind your proposal. This should include how the current and potential people that use the space would benefit from the proposal, e.g. how your proposal addresses place-making opportunities.

Conditions for award

A minimum of three eligible entries must be received by the closing date or the jury may reserve its rights not to award a winner.

The jury may choose not to award a winner if they believe the entries received are of insufficient standard or do not fulfil the judging criteria.
