Submission time and Board Size

[Thomas Butler]

Hello,

Can we submit the board up to 23h59, January 28th? Meaning, do we have the whole day of the 28th to submit it? And is the submission clock in a certain EST?

Also, should the A1 final board be the standard 594 × 841mm or can we use an 16:9 proportion in the A1 considering that the board will be seen in a pc monitor?

Thank you!

Hi Thomas!

Yes, you have until the end of the day on the 28th to submit your work, and the time zone we consider is GMT-7, which most likely will even give you a few extra hours (depending on where you live). However, we recomend that you don’t wait until the very last minute. Life happens, blackouts, internet cuts, etc. so be sure to submit with enough time, as we will not accept late submissions.

As for the board, you should stick to a standard din-A1. As you suggested, a panel the size of a din-A1 is sometimes hard to view on a monitor, regarding of the proportions (most monitors are way smaller than a din-A1). That is why in the submission for we ask for teams to submit their boards and also all the drawings included on the board separately. That way the jury will be able to zoom in to any piece of information inside your panel easily. As a reference, you can take a look at any of the projects submitted to the Bauhaus competition.

Hope this helps!

Hello,
Our team tried to submit the project twice, no errors found, but we do not show up in the submission list. What may be the problem?

Thank you!

Hello Matilde,

If your registration ID does not show up in the submission list, we DID NOT receive your project. We have recently received submissions from other teams, so we are confident that the submission form is working properly, at least in most cases.

In order to troubleshoot your situation please do the following:

• Make sure that your files are all under the maximum weight in MB and size in pixels.
• Try to submit them one at a time (some times the process might time out when trying to upload several large files at a time from a slow internet connection).
• Try adding your project description only (text) and save, see if the problem is with the images or the submission in general.

Please let us know if anything changes after trying these things.
