Juries
Composition of the juries
Structure of the juries
The jury’s decisions are final in compliance with the Europan rules.
The jury meets in 2 separate sessions at different times:
- At the first session, it makes a preselection of 10 to 20% of the submitted projects. Sites representatives can be integrated to this jury level.
- At the second session, it examines –on its own and independently– all the preselected projects and points out the winners, runners-up and special mentions.
At the beginning of the first session, the jury appoints one of its members as chairman and agrees on its working method.
Each country holds in its budget the equivalent of a Winner’s prize and a Runner-Up prize for each site. Still, each entry is judged on its sole merits and the winning teams are not chosen on basis of an equal distribution between sites.
The jury can distribute prizes among entries up to his will and can decide not to award all the prizes. In this case, the reasons shall be made public.
The jury may single out projects for Special Mention. These projects are recognised by the jury as presenting innovative ideas or insights, yet not sufficiently suitable for the site to be awarded a winner or runner-up status. The authors of projects receiving a special mention do not receive any reward.
The jury may decide to replace a prize-winning project to be disqualified after validitation of its participation to the competition by another project, if the quality is satisfactory.
EVALUATION CRITERIA
Before beginning to work the jury receives recommendations from the European Association.
First, the jury shall study the projects that do not comply with the rules and decide whether or not to disqualify them.
During the first session, the jury assesses projects on basis of:
- their conceptual content, and
- the degree of innovation according to the Europan 12 theme: The Adaptable City, Inserting Urban Rhythms.
Between the two sessions a European comparative analysis arises from the preselected projects and constitutes a material for a European discussion with site representatives and jury members.
During the second session, the jury assesses projects on basis of:
- the relationship between concept and site;
- their relevance to the questions raised by the topic and in particular to the issues of sustainable development;
- the relevance of their programme to the general brief for their specific site;
- their potential for integration into a complex urban process;
- the innovative nature of the proposed public spaces;
- the consideration given to the connection between housing and other functions;
- the architectural qualities;
- the technical qualities.
The jury writes a report giving the reasons for its choice of winners, runners-up and special mentions in relation to the requirements of the competition and the concerned sites.
DISCLOSURE OF NAMES
The projects assessed by the experts and juries are anonymous.
Once the decision of results taken, ithe jury reveals the participantsʼ names for the winners, runners-up and special mentions. This operation is done through the European database, which automatically links the codes of the projects and composition of teams only once the jury’s decisions are made.
ANNOUNCEMENT OF RESULTS
After disclosure of the names of the winning teams by the juries and following any adjustments to rankings that may prove necessary, the national secretariats ratify the decisions and disclose the names of all the participants. The results are then transmited to the European secretariat through the website.
The European secretariat validates the composition of the teams and then publishes online the complete list of results on December 13th, 2013.
