For participants Europan 11 starts on 1 February 2011.

Architects (as team leader or as team members) and other professionals with a recognised qualification (= certificate) in their discipline (as team member) under the age of forty.

A team has to have a team leader. He/she is the sole representative in all contacts with national European secretariats. In addition a team can be composed of members (in the English regulations referred to as associates) and/or contributors.

That depends on the date of your birthday. Team members should be under the age of forty on the final entry day.

On 1 February 2011 all information about the competition will be posted on the web site Europan Europe. This will also include information on the participating sites. Having chosen a site the team leader should register and pay the registration fee. The team leader then receives a log-on code and password, with which he or she can download the detailed (English) information about the selected site. The team leader can use the log-on data during the registration period and also alter the registration form and add team members and contributors.

Yes, during each Europan round site visits are organised and site representatives are present to answer questions. The visits to the Europan 11 sites will take place in the spring of 2011.

Yes, on condition that the sites are located in different countries.

Yes, all the plans for Europan are sent in anonymously. None of the documents submitted may bear a name or other information that reveal the identity of the participant.

Participants must give their entry a code. This code should be placed on the top left-hand corner of all the documents and packing before being submitted. It should comprise two letters, followed by three figures.

Because the jury that adjudicates the entries for the Dutch sites is international in composition, Europan Nederland recommends writing all the texts to be submitted in English.

No, the plans submitted and the identity of the entrant(s) may not be made public before the European announcement of the results.

According to the regulations all material received becomes the property of the Europan organisation. Europan Nederland gives the competition material to the sites. If they do not wish to keep the entries then they organise a collection date for the participants.
