Design Brief - this is the complete design brief for the competition, including competition overview, three competition streams, submission requirements, etc. This is the same information you will find on the website, but in an easier-to-print format.

For ease of use, you can also download just the requirements associated with the three competition streams:

• Stream 1 - Brief (The Place)

  • Stream 1 Brief for ages 18 and under

• Stream 2 - Brief (The Intervention)

• Stream 3 - Brief (The Celebration)

When you're ready to submit your entry, you'll also be required to complete a Competition Entry Form. If you are entering online, you can use the form found on our How to Enter Page. If you are submitting your entry in-person, or by mail, please download, print, and complete the appropriate form for the stream(s) that you are entering. A separate form will be required for each entry.

• Stream 1 or Stream 2 - Entry Form (The Place; The Intervention)

• Stream 3 - Entry Form (The Celebration)

We’ve also created a set of optional templates that you can use when preparing your illustrations for the different streams. These are downloadable 11x17 sheets pre-labelled for your use.

  • Stream 1 - Optional Template - for ages 18 and under
