Everything you need to know about the competition

01

Who can participate?

The competition is open to students, professionals, educators, and design enthusiasts from architecture, product design, computational design, and related creative fields. We welcome both individuals and teams at any skill level.

02

What software is required?

All entries must be created using the BeeGraphy platform, which runs entirely in the browser. Participants may use separate rendering or visualization software for final presentation, as long as the core parametric model is built in BeeGraphy.

03

How are submissions judged?

The jury evaluates entries based on concept clarity, parametric logic, innovation, design quality, adaptability, and presentation. Strong emphasis is placed on parameter structure and model flexibility.

04

Can I submit multiple entries?

Yes, participants may submit multiple entries within the same category or across different categories. Each submission requires separate registration and must represent a distinct parametric system or design idea.

05

Do I need prior experience?

No prior experience is required. BeeGraphy is designed to be accessible for beginners while remaining powerful for advanced users. The competition encourages learning and experimentation at all skill levels.

06

How can I get support?

Support includes the BeeGraphy Discord community, regular workshops, live demonstrations, office hours, and Q&A sessions throughout the competition period.
