   1. Stating a clear and concise ‘Focus Area’ in your Entry Form makes it easy for the jurors to understand your plans and interests.

   2. Your attached photos should demonstrate your ability to record architecture in digital format.

2. What is the selection / evaluation procedure?

   1. Your entries are received by the scholarship by email.

   2. The entries are posted on a website.

   3. The Jurors go over the entries and grade them on a scale of 1 to 100.

   4. Grades from individual jurors are compiled and added. The entry receiving the highest grade is the winner.

   5. If there is a tie, Nicholas Iyadurai will decide the winner.

3. Can I send any two digital photographs along with the entry form?
