Entrants should submit a scheme comprising of apartments or student accommodation under 25 units.
Design wise, the judges are looking for something more special than a simple regurgitation of standard apartment types. Think something that responds to context in terms of material selection and how it knits itself into the local community.

The scheme must be completed or at practical completion to be considered.
