This international competition is conducted in strict compliance with all rules and established best practices:
- openness — participation will be open to anyone interested in participating, without restrictions and/or discrimination.
- anonymity — a guarantee that the judges will not have access to names and authors, but will judge only the competition projects.
- impartiality — fair competition of ideas and concepts, with the objective of the Contracting Authority being to obtain the best solution for the central pedestrian zone and a project to be implemented at a later stage.
