Playground Submission Requirements
When submitting to the Playground Design Competition keep in mind that your submission will be evaluated on multiple dimensions, your playground design is judged together with its accompanying images. Applicants should send high-resolution images of the playground, showing the design from different angles and perspectives together with a textual presentation of their project. Main image is especially important and should either be an isolated image on white background or a highly professional photograph. In addition to images, other relevant documents such as safety manuals, installation instructions and maintenance guides could further be uploaded as support documents.
