Submission Specs

Submissions No Longer Accepted

Feel free to express your ideas for a new White House as you prefer. You can send images, texts, videos, renderings, animations, photographs, and descriptions or just about anything else. All we ask is that you stick to the formats listed below.

All submissions must be anonymous. Please don’t include your name on any of the work you submit.

Your work will be presented to the jury as a printout, or projected if it is a video. A maximum of twelve (12) pages in A3 or tabloid format can be submitted per registration. One 10-minute video can be submitted per registration. One text (max 250 words) can be submitted per registration.

The only acceptable submission formats are JPEG and PDF. If you want to submit hand drawings, sketches, collages etc., please scan them. Although you are allowed a maximum of twelve A3 or tabloid-size panels, feel free to submit less. It's the idea that counts - one page may well be enough.

2D artwork

Each registered participant can submit up to 12 panels.

The dimensions of the panels can be A3 (297mm x 420mm) or tabloid (11 x 17 inches).

The pages should be saved as PDF documents or JPEG files. A mix of the two is acceptable. You can also send a multi-page PDF, so long as it contains no more than 12 pages of the specified format.

Videos and animations

Each registered participant can submit one video with a maximum length of 10 minutes. Videos must be published on YouTube. During the submissions process you will be asked for a link to your video.

Text

Each project can be accompanied by a description of a maximum of 250 words. You will be asked to copy your text into the browser during the submission process.

Models

Feel free to build models of your proposal for a new White House, but please don't send them to us. You should photograph your model and include the pictures in your 12 panels. If your project is selected to exhibit at Storefront, we will ship it to New York for display in the gallery.

White House Redux - The Book

White House Redux - The Book

With almost 500 submissions from 42 countries around the world, White House Redux—a competition launched by Storefront for Art and Architecture and Control Group last January—became one of the most talked-about architecture competitions in 2008.

Published to coincide with the opening of an exhibition of the competition's results at Storefront for Art and Architecture, White House Redux - The Book contains a compendium of documentation related to the competition and an overview of the results. It includes essays by Joseph Grima (Director of Storefront) and Geoff Manaugh (BLDGBLOG), a history of the existing White House and 123 selected projects as well as the four winning submissions. A jury assessed the submissions in the spectacular setting of the 45th floor of the World Trade Center Tower 7, a process documented in the book's 30-page photoessay by Marty Hyers.

White House Redux is available in a limited edition of 500 copies.
734 pages, color and black & white (7.8" x10.5")
