Eligibility
General
All entries must be of an architectural nature, and must be authored by one individual. Entries can be elevations, sections, or perspectives, and can be conceptual or final renderings. Exploration and innovation in unique techniques are encouraged. While there is no limit to the number of entries one can submit, submissions awarded in past Ken Roberts competitions are not eligible. Sketchbooks as a whole will not be accepted; a single, clearly marked page within the sketchbook may be entered.

Professional Eligibility
Each entry must have been executed while entrant is a professional in architecture or in related fields (architectural illustrator, educator, engineer, cg animation). Due to the versatile nature of the architectural profession, it is not required for the entrant to be employed at the time submitting work for KRob. All work completed after graduation from a design program is considered professional.

Student Eligibility
This category is open to individuals currently attending high school or pursuing a degree in architecture or design.

Guidelines on the eligibility for prize categories
Depending on the registrant’s status and location of residences (inside/outside US), each entry will be sorted into the appropriate prize category, guided by the following rules:
  1. The entrant must be currently enrolled as a student to be elegable for the student prize categories. Any changes made to a student drawing after graduation will makeit a professional entry.

  2. If the work entered was completed at any point after graduation from a design program, it will be eligible for both the Hand Delineation Prize and the Hybrid Media Prize in the professional category. Since architectural delineation at the professional level takes place in a variety of circumstances, whether in response to client demands, design competitions, or research, it is not required for one to be employed by a traditional architectural design firm or studio. Any changes made to a student drawing after graduation will make it a professional entry.

Guidelines on the eligibility for the Kevin Sloan Travel Sketch Award
  1. The content of the drawing must be architectural - a space, building, an urban formation and/or a landscape or garden.

  2. Submittals must have been drawn in situ – at the place, in a bound or unbound sketchbook.

  3. Any view, diagram and graphic notation should be clear.

  4. Either a single image or a page combining different views, diagrams and conventions is encouraged.

One Doghouse Laptop Computer and one licensed copy each of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6, Corel Painter 12, Corel PaintShop Pro X4 Ultimate, and Corel DESIGNER Technical Suite X5 is awarded to the best student and professional entries that demonstrate excellence through an innovative use of media.

In addition, one 3DConnexion Spacepilot Pro is awarded to the best Student entry, and one 3DConnexion Space Mouse Pro is awarded to the best Professional entry.

The Richard B. Ferrier Prize for Best Physical Delineation
In response to the large majority of entries being submitted electronically, this prize has been created to highlight and honor the unique properties inherent to physical drawings. KRob has traditionally been an event that honored physical submissions, and this prize is intended to maintain this practice. To be considered for this prize, the entry must be submitted physically to the AIA Dallas office. Please carefully follow the instructions for physical submissions above. For entrants registered with a U.S. mailing address only. The winner of this category will be awarded one licensed copy of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 and one licensed copy of Corel Painter 12.

The Kevin Sloan Prize for Best Travel Sketch
This award acknowledged individuals interested in the time honored activity of drawing architecture and places to learn and understand. In lieu of drawings made to “interpret” drawings submitted for this category are made to observe, analyze and record in a sketchbook. A Wacom Inkling will be awarded to the best travel sketch entry.

Jurors Citation
$100 cash is awarded by each of the jurors. These citations allow the jurors to independently select any student or professional piece that they personally wish to see recognized.

Note: For international shipments of non-cash prizes, AIA Dallas will pay the shipping. All duties and taxes are the responsibility of the recipient and will be assessed upon delivery.
