The students can enter the competition as a single person or as teams up to three persons. The sign up will close at 22 and the competition will begin!
As it is said on the 120HOURS site if you want to entry you must be prepared to work hard and... fast.

By addressing topical discussions in both public and architecture debate, the competition aims to be a contributor of new thoughts and discussions within both social and cultural discourse."
