Heavy Machinery Submission Requirements
When submitting to the Heavy Machinery Design Competition keep in mind that your submission will be evaluated on multiple dimensions, your heavy machinery design is judged together with its exterior, interior, operation, environment considerations and efficiency. Applicants should send high-resolution images of the heavy machinery, showing the machinery from multiple angles together with a textual presentation of their work. The main image is especially important and should be either an isolated image on white background or a highly professional photograph of the machinery. For photographs we would recommend to have dynamic scenes showing the machinery in action. In addition to images, it is possible to upload support documents at will.
Item | Dimensions | Format | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Main Image Required |
JPEG | The Key Visual should encapsulate the essence and scale of the heavy machinery, with a high-resolution image that showcases the equipment in its entirety. A neutral background is recommended to ensure the machinery stands out, with sufficient lighting to accentuate its form and structure. If the machinery operates within a specific environment, an in-context photograph may better communicate its purpose and strength. | |
Optional Image 1 Required |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 1 shall offer a perspective that highlights the machinery's versatility, such as attachments or modifications. If applicable, display the equipment in various operational modes or with different tools that demonstrate its multifunctional capabilities. The composition should allow for a clear comparison and showcase the range of tasks the machinery can perform. |
Optional Image 2 Recommended |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 2 must zoom in on the innovative features or engineering marvels of the heavy machinery. A close-up of the mechanics, hydraulics, or any unique technology that sets the machinery apart is ideal. The focus should be on the aspects that enhance performance, efficiency, or safety, providing insight into the machinery's advanced design. |
Optional Image 3 Recommended |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 3 is expected to depict the heavy machinery in action, within a real-life scenario that exemplifies its power and effectiveness. The environment should be authentic, capturing the machinery as it engages with its task, whether it's construction, agriculture, or mining. This image should convey the machinery's impact and contribution to its industry. |
Optional Image 4 Recommended |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 4 needs to convey the user experience, showing operators interacting with the machinery. The image should highlight ergonomic features, ease of control, and any user-centric design elements. If direct interaction is not feasible, focus on the results of the machinery's work, such as the precision of an excavated site. |
Documentation PDF Document Highly Optional |
A4 Page Size |
Documentation for heavy machinery should be comprehensive, including technical specifications, operational guidelines, and maintenance procedures. Diagrams or exploded views can elucidate complex components, while performance data and safety certifications may underscore the machinery's reliability and compliance with industry standards. | |
Video Video / Audio File Highly Optional |
AVI | Video content should serve as a dynamic showcase of the heavy machinery in operation, illustrating its capabilities and robustness. A combination of aerial shots, operator point-of-view, and close-ups of moving parts can provide a thorough understanding of the machinery's functions. Narration or text overlays can highlight key features and benefits, enhancing the viewer's appreciation of the machinery's design and engineering. |
