All project submissions are due by Monday, 16 March, at 2PM (EST). Please submit your final proposals through the link at the bottom of this page.
Submissions are to take the following format:
A title + Two A2 landscape boards + One key image + 300-word written statement
-> Panel 1: Context
Present a multisensory cartography extending beyond topography to include hydrodynamics (tides, currents, erosion, floodplains), sensory fields (soundscape, smellscape), logistics (access, flows), life systems, etc.
-> Panel 2: Intervention
Communicate your design proposal for a communal night ritual site, with situational detail and its axis of engagement.
-> Written Statement (300 words)
State your project’s title and core premise. Reflect on how it prototypes a materially grounded transition toward collective flourishing. Acknowledge the lands, peoples, and references informing your work.
The two digital A2 landscape boards must be united in one single PDF file (maximum 10Mb).
The key image representative of your project as a whole must be in JPG format, landscape, 1920x1080px.
The team number must appear in all the file names and at the bottom right of the two boards. No names can appear on your boards to preserve anonymity for the jury’s consideration.
All project submissions (PDF and key images) will be posted on the Charrette 2026 website, with names of authors withheld until after the Awards Ceremony.
Submissions are welcome in French, English or a combination of the two.
