Professor Raymond Lifchez, Chair of the international Berkeley Undergraduate Prize for Architectural Design Excellence announces that the 2010 BERKELEY PRIZE launches on October 1, 2009 ONE MONTH EARLIER THEN USUAL.
Each year the PRIZE, whose primary goal is to foster a larger awareness and understanding of the social art of architecture, sponsors an Essay Competition, a Travel Fellowship Competition, and an Architectural Design Fellowship Competition. All are open to undergraduates studying architecture throughout the world.
A total of $9500 in prize money is awarded to the Essay Competition winners with a guaranteed $4000 first place prize. The Travel Fellow(s) is given round-trip air-fare and a stipend to attend a significant architectural event in the Summer of 2009. The Architectural Design Fellow(s) is given a $2500 honorarium and money to fund prizes for a local design competition.
Students are asked to submit a 500-word Essay Proposal in response to a posted Question. The 2008 PRIZE Question revolves around the topic of Historic Preservation/Heritage Conservation. The Proposals are due on November 1, 2009.
Approximately 25 student semifinalists are invited to expand their proposal into a 2500-word essay due in mid-February, 2010. From this pool, 5-7 Finalist essays are forwarded to the 2008 BERKELEY PRIZE Essay jury, who will select First, Second, and Third place winners. The entire operations of the Prize, including all submittals and judging are done on-line.
