    It seems an interesting competition project to sweat on. I do have a couple of questions/ concerns. Per your guideline, the file naming is to use last name of participant. It’s worth pointing out that for some countries like China millions of people could have a same family name, which could pose a potential problem in the scenario when two participants with the same family name enter this competition. How would you rectify this? Unlike most architectural competitions we all know that anonymity of entries is maintained throughout the competition, your submission guideline requires the architect’s name be printed on the presentation boards. How could you ensure the jury deliberation is fair to all entries? How to submit the design proposal electrically?

    Regards,
    FZ

      To rectify this please enter the last two digits of your zip code at the end of your last name if you are worried about duplicate names being entered.

      In terms of being fair, we are making the greatest effort to remain as balanced as possible for all entrants and have yet to make any judgements upon any entrants or their questions and will not until we have chosen the right design for the 2012 MNPG Arch Competition.

      Please submit your proposal to info@mnpg.net

      Thanks for your questions.

    Hi.
    I have a doubt: In what level of detail the project should be presented? Must be a preliminary study?
    That’s all.
    Regards

      This should be a professional presentation at the highest level of detail as possible, given the constraints given.
