Launch

Interisland Terminal is launching an annual architecture competition for architects living and practicing in Hawaii. Each year, a community organization will work in partnership with Interisland Terminal and act as the “client” for the competition briefing, which will seek to address a challenge faced by that organization through innovative architecture.

    I find the “entry fee” unacceptable. As a designer, why should I *pay* to work?

    Paul:
    Thanks for your comment on the entry fee for the Competition.

    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.
