Entrants are required to register for the competition prior to submitting their entry using the online registration available on this website at http://www.urban-habitats.org/registration/index.php

The registration form must be printed out, signed by all team members and included with the final submission. Registered student entrants must also submit a copy of their valid student identification with the final submission. Entrants who wish to submit more than one project must register for each scheme they intend to enter.

The preferred method of payment is by credit or debit card via our secure online system. If it is necessary to submit payment by other means, only a cashier’s check, money order or international money order will be accepted. Send a copy of the printed registration form together with your payment to: URBAN HABITATS, c/o Charlottesville Community Design Center, 101 East Main Street, Charlottesville, VA 22902, USA. Registration will be complete only upon receipt of your payment.

All payments are final. Refunds will not be offered to registered entrants who do not submit an entry.

Entrants from outside the United States may choose to ship Display Boards and register as a regular Professional or Student Entrant. However, an alternative submission process is provided for international entrants concerned with the potential delay of sending display boards through US Customs. A certified vendor has been designated to print and mount all international submissions submitted in electronic form on CD-ROM. The additional charges of US$125 required for international registration covers the direct cost of printing and mounting the two required display boards. Shipping charges will be greatly reduced. Detailed instructions follow in the Submissions Requirements section.

If you choose to ship printed and mounted display boards, do not register as an International Entrant. Register as a regular Professional or Student, pay the regular entry fee and follow the general Submission and Presentation Requirements.

All team members must be listed on the registration form. Only those persons whose names appear on the form will be acknowledged or awarded prizes. Firms are required to list all members of the project team; however, any award will only be issued to the team, studio or office. The contact person listed on the registration form will serve as principal contact throughout the competition. Should the competition team list change after registration, the contact person must send a revised list by email to the competition coordinator at .
