An entry must be submitted along with a detailed description of the project and its special features, as well as details of the location, area, responsible architect/shopfitting company, suppliers, etc.

Please consider: It is not suitable to submit shopping centers as a project, since Shopping Centers include many different stores and designs while this award solely evaluates the interior design of one single store/department store/restaurant etc.

As in planning of a store concept, please focus on the details in the form. Please clearly explain the special features of your project to the jury, e.g.:

The basic planning ideas, challenges in accomplishing the project and how it was overcome, the colors and materials chosen, innovative elements, technical innovations that were used etc. are to be presented.

Photos are the best way to convey an overview of the respective store to the jury. You should therefore enclose at least 8 or more photos showing different views of the project along with your entry. (Requirements for the photographic material → Size: At least 4000×7000 px. Resolution: 300 dpi. Format: jpg or tif)
