Project
Summary
The project summary is to be provided and include
the background and general information on the entry
which allows the Jury to fully appreciate the detail
of the project and its context. The summary should
not exceed 1000 words and where appropriate include
10 electronic images/graphics.
The
summary should include:
Project
name and location.
Brief
outline of the scope of work,
concept and intent; include relevant
details so the jury understands
how the outcome matched the brief.
Significance
of the project. (This should
address the criteria for the
category)
Role
of those involved.
(important)
Special factors such as why the
project is unique and any unusual
problems solved.
Unusual
or interesting facts appropriate
for publicity purposes.
Project
budget.
Use
of Boards
No Boards are to be submitted with the Student Awards’ submissions.
NB:
Instead all entrants must include
on their discs, A3 or A4 Poster(s)
(max two) of the project - digital
ready to print - these will be
used for any hard-copy exhibit
during or after the competition.
Graphics/Images
WARNING:
if the electronic images are
too small, the submission may
be rejected. Please test drive
the powerpoint presentations.
AILA
reserves the right to refuse
any entry at any stage of the
process if requirements are
deemed to have not been met.
Essential
Feedback
Attribution: Ensure
that you supply very clear and
accurate information on the submission
form on what attributions are
to be used on the certificates.
Follow
the guidelines: Do Not Get Carried
Away. Do not attempt to over-design
the submission in the hope of
impressing the jury. Do not use
unnecessary design elements such
as collages or extra coloured
graphics – all of this
is undesirable and becomes annoying
for juries trying to read many
submissions. Keep it simple and
communicate clearly with clear
narratives and relevant high-quality
images and graphics.
The
Narrative: Address
all the criteria. Keep the
narrative simple. Ensure
you highlight what makes
the project unique, what
makes the work stand-out,
what particular issues were
addressed and environmental
components.
Documents: It
is essential to provide a word
document on the discs. The word
documents form the basis for
media releases and web sites.
Do not supply this text component
as part of a powerpoint presentation
only – that is, by all
means have the text component
as part of your presentation
(powerpoint, pdf etc) but you
must also supply the same text
as a word document. And do not
forget to supply word/text versions
of any captions.
Graphics/Photography: First
ensure that all graphics and
images are supplied digitally
as required. If you use photographs,
invest in having high quality
images by someone who understands
the power of good images.
You
must supply the credit for any
photographer.
