The International Council for Caring Communities (ICCC), in conjunction with its partners, has launched the International Student Design Competition 2014 – A Society for All Ages.
The competition invites architecture students around the world to show their creative talents in developing solutions, which integrate older persons into the fabric of the community and fully include them in all social, cultural, and productive activities.

The competition aims at answering future urban challenges:
– Is it possible to design successful, diversified and multi-generational communities for older adults including aspects of information and communication technology (ICT)?
– How are older adults fully integrated, connected to and fully engaged in their communities?.

Eligibility:
– Any current architectural student or team of students in either a graduate or undergraduate program worldwide.

How to apply:
– To enter the competition, an individual or teams of students must register electronically.

Awards:
– An international jury of renowned architects, gerontologists, and United Nations officials will judge the entries in January 2014 and cash prizes up to US $10,000 will be awarded to the three best entrants. The 2014 Cycle has special significance, for it will offer winners worldwide exposure at the United Nations Headquarters and the 2014 World Urban Forum in Colombia.

Deadlines were:
15 September 2013 (to register)
31 December 2013 (to submit projects).

We will keep you informed when a new call is published.
