• Graphical documentation: photos, site plans, plans, sections, elevations,...
• Intervention strategy: schemes, diagrams, references.
• Written explanation, with a maximum of 500 words.
• The way in which the participants want to express the proposal is free, so any form of graphic expression that makes it possible to understand the proposal will be accepted. 

Visuals that do not use the photos given are accepted. In any case, the proposal must be able to be printed, and therefore the incorporation of videos, QR, external links or other similar types will not be accepted. In case there are proposals that incorporate them, this information will be excluded from evaluation, and if they infringe the principle of anonymity they will be disqualified.

• Dimensions: A1 horizontal (841 mm × 594 mm / 23.39 in × 33.11 in) and max. 50Mb
• Digital PDF format without metadata
• Identifying MOTTO visible at the top right of the panel
