A box will appear that asks you to save your progress with Google, Facebook, or Create An Account. OR you can click the "Skip Create An Account" choice at the bottom, which will bring up a new box that allows you to input an email address where an email with the link to return to your form will be sent. Note that the form stores information for up to three months. If submitting multiple entries, please complete and submit your first project, then return to https://schooldesigns.com/ap-submission-materials/ to begin the process for each additional project and enter the new information for the next submission.

This should include the educational program requirements, the architect's response, special or unusual problems, and technical information on construction, materials and mechanical systems.

Site/Space Plans

A minimum of one site plan or space plan is required for judging. Upload one site plan and one space plan for each floor or area being judged. If sending more than four site or space plans, you may send the images via e-mail to AP@asumag.com. We also can retrieve photos via Dropbox or your own FTP site.

Space plans should include a North-South designation to indicate the building’s orientation. If one space plan is representative of multiple floors or areas, please note that and additional copies are not needed. Any description needed should be brief (150 letters max, shorter preferred) and is not published - but used to tell the jury what the plan is.

Photographs

• All photos intended for print should be 300 DPI. They can be uploaded as TIF, EPS or JPEG files (8" x 10" or similar size preferred).

• Include one overall exterior shot photograph to show the project in context. An exterior shot is required even if only interior work was completed. Please feel free to select "do not print" in these instances.

• Include at least four additional shots of the project.

• For one-page layouts, submit 6-8 photos; for two-page layouts, submit 8-10 photos.

• Choose photos that visually demonstrate what you’ve said in your project description. When possible, include people in your photographs to show context. Photos should pertain to the category in which you are submitting.

• Include a short description with each photo (e.g., reading nook). Maximum text count is 150 letters, shorter descriptions preferred. The description is not published, but is used to tell the jury what the image is.

• Include a photographer credit for each photo, or in the case of renderings/drawings, the firm responsible for the image.

• Use pulldown menus to select print preference for each image. Images that should not be published should be tagged "do not print." If images are not ranked, the editorial team will select which images to print.

• If you experience problems uploading photos via this form, or have more than ten photos, you may also send electronic photo files via e-mail to AP@asumag.com. We also can retrieve photos via Dropbox or your own FTP site. 

•  The Renovation/Modernization and Historic Preservation categories require at least one "before" photo with a corresponding "after" photo. If you are uploading more than one before image please note in the photo description which after photo it corresponds to.

• Work In Progress entries should send renderings, sketches or planning concepts, as well as any furniture, wall or other interior treatment samples/considerations.

• AS&U editorial staff has final decision over what is included in the printed project and may choose to print only those photos that relate to your selected entry category.
