Why is the registration fee higher than previous Van Alen Institute competitions?
In previous competitions entrants were required to print, mount, and ship their entries to our offices; for this competition entrants will submit all files digitally. The two boards per entrant will be printed, mounted, and laminated by the competition sponsors to be used for both the jury and a public exhibition of all entries. By printing the boards at the same time we will be guaranteeing uniform high quality and preventing shipping damage. This process will eliminate all printing and shipping time and expenses for the registrant. The registration fee was raised to help cover this cost.
