The ISARCH Awards 2024 has commenced its Pre-Selection phase, marking the initial evaluation stage for this year’s submissions. This critical assessment period, running through mid-October, will determine which entries advance to the next round of detailed jury evaluation.
The Pre-Selection committee faces the substantial task of reviewing over 3,500 submissions across the six main categories: Architecture, Product Design, Art, Graphic Design, Digital Design, and Fashion. This preliminary evaluation stage serves as a crucial quality control checkpoint, ensuring all advancing submissions meet the competition’s rigorous standards and technical requirements.
During this phase, each entry undergoes careful scrutiny to verify compliance with competition guidelines. Submissions are checked for completeness of documentation, adherence to format specifications, and fulfillment of category-specific requirements. Entries failing to meet these fundamental criteria will be excluded from further consideration, maintaining the competition’s high standards.
The Pre-Selection committee, comprising experienced design professionals and academics, employs a standardized evaluation framework to ensure fair and consistent assessment across all categories. Each submission receives thorough consideration for its technical merit, innovative approach, and presentation quality before determining its eligibility for the next round.
This initial evaluation phase represents a pivotal moment in the competition timeline, as it establishes the foundation for subsequent in-depth jury assessments. The Pre-Selection process not only ensures the quality of advancing submissions but also streamlines the final evaluation process for the distinguished jury panel.
Successful entries from this phase will proceed to the comprehensive jury evaluation, where they will undergo detailed assessment based on innovation, sustainability, functionality, and overall design excellence. The ISARCH committee maintains strict confidentiality throughout this process, ensuring fair and unbiased evaluation of all submissions.
The outcomes of the Pre-Selection phase will be communicated directly to participants upon completion of this initial evaluation stage, marking the next step in identifying this year’s most outstanding design achievements.
