Regenerative Design Submission Requirements
When submitting to the Regenerative Design Competition keep in mind that your submission is assessed through a multifaceted lens; your regenerative design project is judged together with its presentation. Applicants should send high-resolution images of the circular economy project, presenting the concept from various perspectives, accompanied by a comprehensive textual presentation of their work. 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 data such as case studies, field reports, sustainability analysis, and user feedback could further be uploaded as support documents.
Item | Dimensions | Format | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Main Image Required |
JPEG | The Key Visual must encapsulate the essence of regenerative design, showcasing the product or project in a manner that immediately conveys its sustainable and restorative principles. A clear, high-resolution image or rendering should be used, capturing the design in a natural or environmentally relevant context that reinforces the regenerative concept. The visual narrative should focus on the design's harmony with the natural world, emphasizing any biophilic elements, use of sustainable materials, or innovative ecological benefits. | |
Optional Image 1 Required |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 1 shall display the design's adaptability and responsiveness to environmental conditions. For instance, if the entry is a building, the image could illustrate its energy-efficient features or integration with the local ecosystem. This image should highlight how the design contributes to ecological balance, demonstrating its versatility in different seasons or settings, and showcasing the dynamic relationship between the design and its surroundings. |
Optional Image 2 Recommended |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 2 should zoom in on the specific elements that enable the design to regenerate or positively impact the environment. A close-up shot of materials, technologies, or systems used in the design that contribute to sustainability, like solar panels or recycled water systems, would be ideal. This image aims to draw attention to the innovative features that distinguish the design in the realm of sustainability. |
Optional Image 3 Recommended |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 3 needs to illustrate the design's broader impact on its environment, focusing on its ability to revitalize or enrich ecosystems. An image that shows the design in use, such as a community interacting with a regenerative urban space or wildlife thriving around a restorative structure, can effectively communicate this aspect. The setting should complement the design's purpose and underscore its role in promoting ecological resilience. |
Optional Image 4 Recommended |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 4 must capture the lifecycle or long-term benefits of the design, emphasizing its enduring contribution to environmental health. Whether it's a depiction of growth over time, such as vegetation maturing around green infrastructure, or a representation of cyclical processes like composting in product design, this image should convey the design's role in fostering a sustainable future. |
Documentation PDF Document Highly Optional |
A4 Page Size |
Documentation shall be a comprehensive guide to the design's regenerative aspects, detailing how it works within and contributes to natural cycles. It should include information on materials, energy efficiency, waste reduction, and any other sustainable practices. Diagrams or charts that explain the design's positive environmental impact, lifecycle analysis, or integration into local ecosystems can be particularly enlightening. | |
Video Video / Audio File Highly Optional |
AVI | The video should be a visual narrative that illustrates the regenerative journey of the design, from concept to real-world application. It should highlight the design's sustainable features, its interaction with the environment, and its contribution to ecological systems. Testimonials from users or creators, demonstrating the design's positive impact, can add a compelling human element to the story. |
