What's the prize? Oh yeah, free entry to something I have to pay $800 to get to. Plus you don't even provide lodging. WOW! I will get busy right away!
Do these designs become your property? I assume they will so you can sell them to someone else and make money on some poor schmuck that actually paid you 25 bucks for the "privilege" of entering such as awesome contest.
You must think you are some kind of a management whiz!
Did you go to a management conference and find out how to get people to work for free? And for a bonus, get a worker to actually pay you for the privilege of working? All I can say is that I pity the people who work for you!

These are typical answers from your field. Newborns cry less then you guys. Conformity? Set backs? Codes?
Just like in the real world you want a handout. GET YOUR LAZY ASSES OUT OF YOUR OFFICE AND VISIT THE SITE. IF ITS TOO FAR AWAY THEN HAVE SOMEONE IN THE AREA TAKE SOME PICTURES. CONTACT THE CITY IF YOU NEED TO LEARN THE CODES.
JUST STOP WINING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a collection of goobers! No wonder that the
state of American architecture and home design
sucks so badly. Y''''''''all seem to need to be led
around by digits placed firmly in your nostrils.
I''''''''ll bet that the neighborhoods in your city
featuring
50 x 150 "infill" lots have a certain look that you can
acknowledge or ignore. The codes are so
universal now that unless you do something
thoroughly stupid, you should be OK.
I assumed that the term "front loading garage"
means "no alley access" rather than the garage
has to be the prime design feature of your street
elevation. This was a "design challenge" not a
code compliance challenge.
When I win first place I will parlay my $25 entry fee
and the time invested in creating the best design
into about $25,000 worth of free editorial coverage
in every publication at my disposal. Should the
jury screw up, then at least I had a good time...

What a bunch or whiners and losers. You don't HAVE to enter; you don't HAVE o pony up the large sum of $25.00, just go back to your miserable lives. For those of you still interested, have fun with it.

To say the least, the program is way to vague. Not to mention there are no qualifications as to who ends up owning said designs that are submitted. Sounds like a heck of a deal for CB.....numerous designs and a $25 entry fee to boot. Only in America.

I''ve got no problem with the challenge guidelines, it''s wanting $25 to submit an entry. Why would you pay to submit?

Take it for what it's worth. Use your creativity to define the undefined, rather than criticizing the vagueness of the program. You can define the context of the project, create your own location, etc.
Wow, and you call yourselves architects . . . seems to me you've all spent too much time in the "real world". Let this be an escape, a chance to break from the constraints of your daily job.
I'm sure the contest officials knew they were giving a wide open opportunity, a college design studio type problem if you will.
I'm guessing there will be some amazing results, and am assuming none will come from any of you previous posters. Go on, scurry back to your daily chores, codes and creative restraints.
