Entrants must submit two 30" x 40" (0.762 x 1.016 meters) presentation boards, with the 40" sides oriented vertically, and the boards organized side-by-side. The boards should have a maximum thickness of 0.5" (12.7 mm) and weigh no more than 5 pounds (6.8 kilograms) each. The boards must lie flat against an easel or wall, and may not include anything that projects more than 0.25" (6.35mm) from the surface. The competition recommends entries are submitted on foam board, or similarly stiff, lightweight materials. Weight and size limits will be strictly enforced, and competitors are urged to take great care in preparing their entries for shipping. The number and type of presentation drawings are at the discretion of the entrant. The presentation board should document clearly and concisely the entrant's approach to the project. Ideas about the form, organization, materials, site planning, and design direction of the National AIDS Memorial Grove should be included. Any verbal description must be included on the presentation side of the board and incorporated into the graphic layout of the submission. Additional written materials will not be accepted. Presentations should be easily understandable by a lay audience. Not all jurors will be design professionals. Further, the sponsors intend to display some of the competition entries in a high-traffic public setting and use them in education programs about the National AIDS Memorial Grove. No models will be accepted. However, photographs or computer renderings of models may be incorporated into the presentation. All entries must be submitted without any marks, logos, insignia, or writing that identify their authorship (see, Rules). Competitors must affix an opaque envelope to the rear of each competition board. Both the envelope and the board must be labeled only with the competitor's identification number (which is assigned during the registration process). Sealed inside this envelope should be a copy of the registration confirmation. Competitors may submit as many entries as they desire. However, each entry must have a separate registration confirmation and entry form. Because the Sponsors intend to exhibit and publish the results of the Competition, competitors must submit with their registration forms any text that appears on their entry, as well as brief (50 words or less) biographical statements about all team members. This information must be submitted on a CD-ROM in Microsoft Word.
