Registration for Round 2 closes today, 18 August 2026, and the final submission is due tomorrow. Here is everything the board must carry, and how to send it.

One board, landscape

Each entry is a single A0 board in landscape orientation (84.1 × 118.9 cm), as a JPG or PNG at 300 dpi and no more than 25 MB.

What goes on the board

  1. A concept statement of up to 350 words
  2. The site strategy, with diagrams
  3. Plans, sections and elevations
  4. 3D visuals by day and by night
  5. A short structural and environmental concept

How to send it

  • Name the file with the unique team code given after registration and payment — for example, Team 70.
  • Send it by e-mail with the subject “dialogue with the Nile final submission” followed by the team or individual number.
  • Write the full names of the team members inside the e-mail.

Any submission that does not follow these guidelines is subject to disqualification.

How entries are judged

Concept clarity and narrative (25%), spatial and architectural innovation (25%), integration with the Nile context (15%), feasibility and sustainability (15%) and presentation quality (20%). The jury’s decision is final.

Update: the final submission deadline was later extended to 26 August 2026 at 23:59, Cairo time.
