Thanks for your question. This information was originally found only in the design briefing, but we updated the competition page to include it as well.

The design submission shall be presented as up to four (4) drawings in PDF form. All entries are to be submitted electronically via email to info@interislandterminal.org.

Thank you

Entry fees for Competitions of this nature, which take the designs beyond concept to actaulization and implementation, are relatively common. There are several reasons for assessing an entry fee for the this particular Competition. In no particular order of priority, the major reasons include
- Ensuring a degree of seriousness and commitment amongst those that do enter the competition
- Attempting to guarantee that Competition registrants follow-through with actually submitting a complete design
- Supporting the total costs of running a Competition of this nature, which includes the costs of bringing together a jury that includes a viewpoint from outside of Hawaii, costs for materials, supplies and equipment to actualize and build the winning design with an experienced builder, and a cash prize of $1500 to the winning team.

If there are concerns about your “work” being used, the Competition briefing explicitly states that any drawings and design copyrights shall remain with the competition entrants. Interisland Terminal will only reproduce drawings and/or images for the purposes of exhibition and promotion of the competition results.

Please feel free to contact us with any additional comments or questions.

We structured the contest to encourage the broadest participation possible. Designers of all sorts, as well as students of design are welcome to participate. The jury will judge the entries based on their ability to creatively address the competition briefing requirements, not the resumes of the entrants.

Please let us know if you have any other questions and good luck!
