SAVER 2008 STAGES THE FIRST NATIONAL COMPETITION FOR THE CREATION OF A SUSTAINABLE GARDEN
The winning project in this innovative competition shall be exhibited throughout the entire duration of the fair
With a view to promoting the design, creation and improvement of green areas, SAVER, the Equipment and Machinery Fair for Parks, Gardens, Forests and Other Green-Belt Areas, which is due to take place between 9th and 11th October, will stage the First National Competition for the Creation of a Sustainable Garden, in collaboration with the Spanish Landscape Gardeners Association (AEP-IJAP). The evaluation criteria shall focus essentially on the originality, simplicity and feasibility of each project, based on the effective use of water and energy resources.
Entries for this edition of the competition may be submitted up until 8th September 2008 by all professionals who design green areas, whether they are members of AEP or not. Each participant shall present, on his own or as part of a team, a proposal that creates a temporary and sustainable garden measuring approximately 50m2, within a special area set aside at the fair.
Participants shall present their proposals on DIN A-2 panels, alongside a descriptive report of the corresponding project. The report shall include detailed plans of the irrigation and lighting facilities, as well as computer images, images of models and plantation plans. In devising their projects, participants in the competition shall not exceed a budget of 6,000 euros.
The Jury shall consist of members chosen jointly by SAVER and AEP and the Jury's decision regarding the winners shall be announced on 12th September 2008 at a public event. The Jury's decision shall be final, even in cases in which awards are left unallocated.
Given that entries for the competition are anonymous, personal details regarding each participant shall be handed in alongside the rest of the documentation in a sealed envelope, which shall only be opened once the awards have been granted. In order to develop each project, the Spanish Landscapers Association (AEP) shall furnish all the necessary documentation via its web page www.aepaisajistas.org. This information includes the guide entitled "Criteria for a Sustainable Garden in the City of Madrid", published by the City Council, an AutoCAD plan featuring the location of the plot inside the fair and photographs regarding the plot's specific location.
The winning project shall be carried out by SAVER-IFEMA under the direction of its authors, who shall have the period of between 15th and 22nd September 2008 in order to incorporate all of the aspects that they consider necessary in order to implement the proposal adequately. Furthermore, all of the projects that are accepted shall be exhibited throughout the course of the fair and shall feature in a publication created specifically for this event.
The winners shall preserve the intellectual rights to their work and shall grant SAVER-IFEMA and the AEP the publication and exhibition rights to the winning works. Participation in this competition shall entail complete acceptance of the conditions, which can be consulted on the following web pages:
