The Jury Secretary will take minutes from all meetings.





FUNCTIONS OF THE JURY

The functions of the Jury are shown below:

  • Analysis of the documentation and the definitive acceptance of the proposals received.
     
  • Providing a comprehensible reason for exclusion with regard to proposals that are not accepted. These will be recorded and may be due to:
    • delivery outside of the deadline or lack of compliance with the established guidelines;
    • insufficient documentation for a suitable evaluation of the proposal to be made;
    • infringement of anonymity through having revealed the author through any medium;
    • any intention to pressure members of the Jury.
       
  • Analysis and evaluation of the proposals presented, taking into account any advice that is considered appropriate.
     
  • Awareness and compliance with the rigorous anonymity with which the documentation must be analyzed.
     
  • The winning proposal: the winning entry for the Competition must be justified with regard to the other proposals that are awarded prizes. The reasoning behind this judgment will be given during the award ceremony.

     

EVALUATION PROCEDURE

The Jury will agree on a selection procedure in accordance with the quantity and quality of the proposals presented, based on a system of discussion and successive ruling out of proposals. In the case of opting for a voting system which concludes in a draw, a new discussion will take place and the President will cast the deciding vote only after three voting sessions have ended in a draw.

Once the Jury has been established, and depending on the number and quality of the proposals presented, a technical study may be carried out. The study will consist of an analysis and brief account of the options and fundamental parameters for each project. This study may be commissioned at any time in the development of the Jury’s analysis and may cover all proposals or only those that pass a preliminary selection by the Jury. If this option is decided upon, the Jury Secretary will designate a team of the Jury members to carry out the research study, or assign the work to a technical committee composed of specialists.

The Jury will keep as an option to organize presentations for each of the teams selected for the Phase Two to present their proposal to the Jury, on a convenient date.
