ELIGIBILITY
The Fentress Global Challenge (FGC) competition is open to graduate and undergraduate students who are currently pursuing architecture or engineering degrees in an accredited university program, as well as recent graduates (within the last four years) with a degree in architecture or engineering. Individuals and teams of up to three are accepted.

Students must provide proof of active enrollment status: a scanned copy of their student ID and current course schedule. Recent graduates must provide a scanned copy of their diploma.

GUIDELINES
Participants of the FGC are encouraged to re-envision the terminal building in the year 2075. Concepts will integrate Fentress' Touchstone 2: Use context to create identity. Context is more than an intellectual consideration of the history or physical appearance of a neighborhood, city or state, and it’s more than the way new will live with old. Context draws on the senses and memories that define a place and make it unique. Context grows from community, and people respond to it.

Based in logic, beauty and humanism, our Eight Touchstones of Design™ form the foundation for our approach to public architecture and guide our “patient search” to discover the art inside.

More on Fentress' Eight Touchstones of Design

In line with the speculative nature of the competition, participants should seek to improve every dimension of the airport terminal building. All entries should delve into one or more broad topic related to airport architecture and the future of aviation such as mobility, urbanization, globalization, technology, flexibility, security, project feasibility, and passenger experience in 2075.

Designs must center on one of these airports or one of comparable size:

ATLANTA GA, US (ATL)

BEIJING, CN (PEK)

LONDON, GB (LHR)

CHICAGO IL, US (ORD)

TOKYO, JP (HND)

LOS ANGELES CA, US (LAX)

PARIS, FR (CDG)

DALLAS/FORT WORTH TX, US (DFW)

FRANKFURT, DE (FRA)

HONG KONG, HK (HKG)

The submission must take into account existing runways and land restrictions of the chosen airport Participants should create a new airport concept that replaces current terminal structures. These boundaries are there to facilitate a re-envisioning of the airport of the future. Fentress does not supply airport plans. Design 2075 airport mobility – take into consideration what exists and how your concept will evolve the airport and its context.

EVALUATION CRITERIA

Use clear, concise language to convey ideas, key points, and design solutions. Photographs, diagrams, renderings, animations, collages or other visualizations are encouraged to help explain the concept, respecting the guidelines previously described. Please label drawings.

CREATIVE APPROACH

The design approach is innovative and inspiring. Both the concept and design solution are presented through unique and compelling graphics and other media.

RESPONSE TO SITE

The design honors the physical attributes of the site’s context and culture. The overall design strategy matches the global and local demographic requirements of the location. (Again, use context to create identity.

SUSTAINABILITY

The design considers the airport’s environmental impact and energy use. The overall design strategy considers and responds to notions of social sustainability, occupant lifestyle, and well-being.

FUNCTIONALITY

The planning and building organization is clear and appropriate. The design solution contains a defined and well-articulated structural, technical, and constructible rationale.

Awarded since 1994 by WWSF Women's World Summit Foundation - an international, non-profit, humanitarian NGO, serving the implementation of women and children's rights and the UN development agenda - the Prize (US$ 1000 per laureate) honors women and women's groups around the world exhibiting exceptional creativity, courage and commitment for the improvement of the quality of life in rural communities (442 prizes awarded so far).

The Prize aims to draw international attention to laureates' contributions to sustainable development, food security and peace, thus generating recognition and support for their initiatives and projects. While rural women are vital in providing examples of sound practices in their communities, they still do not have full access to tools needed for development, such as education, credit, land rights and participation in decision making. By highlighting and awarding creative development leaders and their work, innovations and experiences enhancing the quality of rural life, WWSF participates in empowering rural women in their contribution to end rural poverty, improve gender equality, and advance women's rights to peace and well-being.

Eligibility
Nominees should be women and women's groups currently active in rural life whose efforts have not yet been acknowledged by other awards. They may not nominate themselves.
The nominating organization or individual must have direct experience of the nominee's work. The nominator may not nominate a family member, be a member of the nominated organization, nor can an organization nominate its senior officer (i.e. founder, president etc.). No more than 3 candidates may be presented by the same person/organization in the same year. The nominator commits, if possible, to organize an award ceremony if the candidate is selected for the Prize and invites the local and/or national media.
Nominations must include the following items:
Original signed letter of nomination indicating how the nominator knows the nominee and for how long.
Biographical data on the nominee (full name, age, education, place of work, background) and a detailed history of the nominee's creative project (written by the nominator) including her motivation, innovative aspects, any obstacles overcome, and the impact in the community. Nominations must specify whether the nominee has received or is currently being nominated for other awards.
At least two original and signed endorsement letters from organizations or individuals other than the nominator and, if possible, additional supporting materials such as newspaper articles or publications.
A few labeled photographs clearly showing the candidate for possible publication
Criteria:
The long-term impact of the Prize depends on the integrity of the nominators and the quality of their nominations. The Prize is an award for successful accomplishments rather than a fund for future projects. The nominee's history (2-3 pages) should demonstrate the creativity, courage and sometimes sacrifice in her efforts at the grass roots to improve life in rural communities. Descriptions should be as specific as possible.

Any of the following elements should be emphasized:
Exceptional courage and perseverance in improving rural life
Creativity in the approach
Preservation of and respect for the environment
Continuing impact on the community
Supporting the post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals
Actively participating, if possible, in the annual WWSF 17 Days Campaign for the Empowerment of rural women andtheir communities 1-17 October with one or several topics.
Prize laureates are selected by an international Jury composed of WWSF Board of Directors; are announced officially in October, and celebrated in their countries on 15 October – International Day of Rural Women. WWSF has a commitment to award annually between 5-10 creative rural women and women's groups around the world. To read about the past laureates, visit our web site www.woman.ch
