Deliverables - Overview
Each site needs its own set of these (from competition_terms-EPK2012.doc).
Note: our team's code is 87767.
0. CODE
All constituent parts of the competition entry shall be marked with a code. The code shall be the same as the code (password) used to register when paying the registration fee!
The code shall be marked in the upper right corner, measuring 5.0 cm (length) x 1.5 cm (height).
The code number shall also include the marking of the group (1, 2 or 3) for which the competition entry is competing! (For example: 00120 / 1, 00120 / 2 or 00120 / 3).
The code shall be marked on each graphical sheet, each separate textual description, each glued envelope and on all pages of documents in envelopes.
All codes will be recoded at the time of opening the competition studies, and all constituent parts of an individual competition elaboration will be marked with a uniform working code.
All included envelopes must be opaque and firmly glued. Opening of competition entries and recoding of all the constituent parts of a competition entry will be conducted by the technical commission of the competition organizer, headed by the trustee of the competition – before evaluation takes place.
1. GRAPHICAL PART
Coated panels, size 70/100 – one (1) copy.
Graphical representations – for each competition group handling – shall be delivered on coated panels, portrait format 70 / 100 cm. The arrangement of graphics on the sheets shall unite individual content groups. The number of sheets or coated panels is limited. Described in Chapter B. - Competition Tasks and Programme.
2. TEXTUAL PART
A3 folder – three (3) copies, including all graphical papers, reduced to A3 size.
The textual part shall be inserted into A3 size folders. The textual parts shall include reductions of all graphical representations, resized to A3. The textual part of the competition elaboration can include sketches, schemes, photographs, photomontage and other representations for more efficient explanation and argumentation of a competition entry.
3. CDs
(2) Copies in Envelope.
Because of the catalogue preparation and exhibition of competition entries (those not rewarded) all participants are bound to prepare a special presentation panel in digital form (size A3, PDF format), which includes representations, characteristic for the competition elaborate, which the author (of the non-rewarded work) wishes to display at the exhibition or in the competition catalogue.
The following digital formats shall be used:
1. Text in *.pdf format
2. Tables in *.pdf format
3. Graphical representations in the following formats:
a. Panels (posters) in *.pdf
b. Layout situations, ground plans in *.pdf
c. 3D views in *.tiff, *.jpg or *.pdf,
Resolution should be at least 1280 px x 1024 px, the views should be suitable for web and other media use.
All CD recordings should retain anonymity and there should be no data, which could disclose the identity of the author!
CD (two copies) shall be included in a firmly closed envelope with a tag CD and the code in the upper right corner of the envelope.
4. AUTHOR ENVELOPE
The AUTHOR envelope shall hold the form Supplement 1 (AUTHOR) with the following information: names of authors, name of the authorized person for all authors or the group of authors, address to receive the call for possible additional qualification testing (see 4.6.3.), names for the exhibition (authors, consultants, co-workers, companies, which needs to be written as the author wishes them to be displayed at the exhibition or in the publications).
The STATEMENT is also a constituent part of the form in which the authors of the competition entry agree with all the competition terms and also confirm that they will – based on the possible call by the contract giver – contribute in further procedures of preparing the project documentation.
The envelope shall be firmly closed and marked with the tag AUTHOR and with the code of the entry.
Note: our team's code is 87767.

Footbridge 2008 Awards
Have a look at the attached Footbridge 2008 Awards by Bridge Design and Engineering magazine. It has lots of pretty photos and gives a good overview of the current state-of-the-art. Note that a footbridge in Maribor, Slovenia won an award (page 14). Also note that a structural engineering firm based out of Maribor has an advertisement on page 19.
