Eligibility
Team UpTwo students (maximum) who meet the eligibility requirements above may collaborate as authors. An architecture student may team up with another undergraduate in architecture, landscape architecture, urban studies, arts and humanities, the social sciences, or engineering. If two students collaborate, then both names must appear on their essay and if awarded a prize, the prize is to be equally shared. Photograph RequirementThis year you are asked to include ONE digital photograph that you have copied from any section, any page, and any year of the BERKELEY PRIZE website that has influenced your Proposal. A brief caption - 50 words maximum - should accompany the photograph telling us what the photo represents and why you have chosed it in particular. Please post the photograph at a minimum 500 pixels wide, and in .jpg format. No more than one photograph will be accepted. The Readers are instructed NOT to add or detract points from their evaluation because of the quality of the photograph itself. The Readers, however, will evaluate how the photograph helps support the argument you have made in your Proposal. Judging CriteriaJudging for the essay competition is on a numeric system. The members of the BERKELEY PRIZE Committee are asked to evaluate each essay in terms of the following criteria:
Each criterion is given a score of 1 to 5 (5 being the highest). The top approximately 25 scoring Proposals become Semifinalists. PurseThere is a total prize of 35,000USD, minimum 7,500USD first prize. The remaining purse is to be allocated at the discretion of the Jury. Calendar
