About the competition

This competition gives competitors an opportunity to work to a design brief based upon a real location. A commission may be awarded to a competition entrant at the discretion of the sponsor. You will need to make a site visit, plan and submit work to a deadline, as would be expected of a professional architectural glass artist. The entries will be judged by a panel of five professional glass artists and designers.

Competitors will be assessed on the following criteria:

• Scale design
• Written statement
• Sample panel
• Budget / estimate
