Juries will judge entries based on the following criteria:

• Strength of the proposal’s idea
• Understanding of issues concerning the public realm and urban renewal
• Understanding of specific challenges in a local context
• The potential for the proposal to contribute to cultural enrichment
• Implement ability/viability of the proposal

A minimum of three eligible entries must be received by the closing date or the jury may decide not to award a winner. The jury may chose not to award a winner if they feel the entries received are not of a high standard or do not fulfill the judging criteria. If unsuccessful, submissions can be entered once more for consideration. If unsuccessful after a maximum of two years the submission is not eligible for further consideration. Collaborative groups can apply, however prize funding is restricted to a single submission.
