The OISTAT Theatre Architecture Competition (TAC) is an international ideas competition, aimed at students and emerging practitioners, which is organised every four years by the Architecture Commission of OISTAT (International Organisation of Scenographers, Technicians and Theatre Architects).

OISTAT is pleased to announce the launch of the next TAC, to be completed in 2011. Selected entries of TAC are exhibited and cash prizes awarded at the Prague Quadrennial (PQ) the major international exhibition of scenography and theatre architecture, which takes place every 4 years in Prague in the Czech Republic.

This is a competition to create and design a place for a particular type of performance.

Objective

Competitors are asked to design a theatre space for a particular type of performance, which must be defined by the competitor. This may be a conventional performance or something more experimental, using a range of media and technologies.

In this way it is hoped to encourage a deeper understanding of the relationship between the performance itself and the space, which it inhabits.

The aim is to create a space, which supports the chosen type of performance in the best possible way. It should explore how a performance space could be designed to reflect the cultural ethos of the 21st century and whether performances in our time are best housed in purpose designed theatres or can take advantage of more open, flexible settings, to meet the needs of artists and respond to an increasingly global information culture.

In particular, competitors should attempt to answer the question on why people continue to choose to visit live performances, despite the overwhelming amount of digital entertainment now available to them. Central to this is the sense of community provided by a shared experience.

Prizes

The first prize will be €5,000, the second prize will be €2,500 and the third prize will be €1,000. There will be three additional prizes of €500 each.

In addition to these prizes, there will be honourable mentions. The jury reserves the right to modify the distribution of prize money, within the same total amount and number of prizes.

The results of the competition will be announced on the OISTAT website from 16 April 2011. Prizes will be presented at the Prague Quadrennial in June 2011 at a ceremony to be held in St Anna's church, and paid electronically to those unable to attend, after the prize-giving.

Rules

• The competition is open to architects and students of schools of architecture.
• It is an ideas competition and there is no intention that the winning entry will be built.
• Competition entries may only be submitted on a CD-ROM which should be clearly labelled with the code number, both on the CD and its cover.
• The competition entries will become the property of OISTAT and may be published and exhibited in any country at the discretion of OISTAT.

• A short written description of the project, the performance to be housed and an explanation of the design concept (maximum 200 words). The text will be incorporated on the panels but must also be submitted separately as an A4 size Word document.

• Both the drawing and text documents and the files containing them are to be identified by a code of six numbers to be chosen at random by the competitor(s), appearing in the top right hand corner of each document,10mm high.

Greenpeace is looking for a logo which accompanies the online-activities of Greenpeace and helps with spreading the word about the campaign that aims to prove that Germany can, and indeed must, produce a 100 percent of its future power requirements from renewable energy.

The target group of this campaign, are all people who are in favor of renewable energy, and against nuclear power and climatic collapse. The logo shalll encourage their “coming out” as a supporter of the energy turnaround.

Be part of the energy revolution. Create a new key visual for Greenpeace.

Introduction

Germany is on the brink of a crucial change in its energy policy. The question is: Will we continue with hazardous nuclear energy and climate-damaging charcoal or will we focus on a consistent change that will lead to renewable energy?

If all our energy is focused on the expansion of renewables, by 2050 Germany will have covered up to 100 percent of its power requirements with sun, wind and water power as well as biogas and geothermal energy. Through this, we will be capable of meeting an enormous challenge for all mankind: the climate change.

Objective

Come up with a logo / key visual including a tagline that expresses the following: Germany can, and indeed must, produce a 100 percent of its future power requirements from renewable energy. Renewable energy is clean, secure and inexhaustible. It is the future, it benefits Germany, and Germany’s citizens should come to the conviction: “I’m for it”.

Tonality:

• simple,
• positive,
• towards the future,
• likeable
• perhaps provocative, bold and funny

Target Group:

• Main target group: ethically orientated middle-class and post-materialist thinking citizens with environmental awareness.
• To all people who are in favor of renewable energy, and against nuclear power and climatic collapse, the logo shalll encourage their “coming out” as a supporter of the energy turnaround.

In the same way as the “atomic sun” became a recognizable symbol of the anti-nuclear movement, the new key visual should symbolize the following: The person carrying this logo expresses his or her a 100 percent commitment to renewables instead of nuclear energy and charcoal.

Prizes

• Overall Community Prize: €2,500
• 1st Place: €1,000
• 2nd Place: €500
• 3rd - 6th Place: €250

Goodie for the winners: A ride in Greenpeace's rubber boat

Rules

• Include the Greenpeace Logo in the Key Visual.

The Internet is much more than a network of computers. It is an endless web of people. Men and women from every corner of the globe are connecting to one another, thanks to the biggest social interface ever known to humanity. Digital culture has laid the foundations for a new kind of society. Because democracy has always flourished where there is openness, acceptance, discussion and participation. And contact with others has always been the most effective antidote against hatred and conflict.

That's why the Internet is a tool for peace. That's why anyone who uses it can sow the seeds of non-violence. And that's why the next Nobel Peace Prize should go to the Net. A Nobel for each and every one of us.

Objective

Show how the Internet can be considered a tool for Peace and Democracy.

• Length of the video must be no longer than five (5) minutes in total;

• The video must focus on a creative representation on how the Internet is an effective vehicle for peace as stated in the Internet for Peace manifesto (I4P Manifesto) published on the www.youtube.com/internetforpeace channel.

Prizes

If you win you will:

• be invited to provide further information and pictures for a biography which, together with a short interview, will be featured presumably in the November issue of Wired Italian magazine and the winning video will be featured on MTV Italia in September 2010;
• be invited to participate to the ceremony of award of the contest Prize organized by ECN in New York (United States). ECN will provide the contest Winner with 2 Day/1 Night trip and accommodation, on September 21, 2010; and
