ACADIA, the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture, is pleased to announce its third international design competition. As in previous ACADIA competitions this will be held entirely on-line and as a co-opetition; where the contestants themselves will be the jury. It is open to student, academic and professional designers. The competition is designed to encourage dialog among peers via an on-line Forum, voting sessions, and e-mail. In addition, several of the competition’s software sponsors have offered support. This multi-level exchange between peers and sponsors will make for a rich, stimulating experience.

The competition site is in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the location of ACADIA’s 2007 conference. The program is for a New Media School to be situated on the Halifax waterfront. The schedule for the competition includes three interactive voting sessions, an awards ceremony at ACADIA’s conference in October 2007, and a publication. To register and for additional information please visit the competition Web site: http://www.acadia2007.org/competition. Registration is open until 15 March.
