EMPORIUM PAVILION DESIGN CONTEST
EMPORIUM PAVILION DESIGN CONTEST is an open call to design a pavilion for Emporium. The official call invites designers, architects, artists, students and other creative entrants; it states that one selected design will be produced and that all submitted entries will be shown in an exhibition.
The official announcement publishes a date but does not state a closing hour or timezone. The countdown below is indicative and assumes 23:59 UTC on 30 November 2026 only for display. Entrants should submit earlier and confirm receipt with the organizer.

Jury, rights and implementation
The official announcement does not name the jury, publish evaluation criteria, state a construction budget or explain how the selected entrant will be appointed for design development. It also does not state copyright, licence, publicity, return or cancellation terms. The promise to build one proposal should therefore be read as the organizer’s stated intention, not as a published construction contract.
✦ ArchUp Competition Review
The single-sheet format makes the opportunity accessible and may suit entrants able to communicate concept, structure, assembly and visitor movement with unusual economy. The exhibition commitment gives the call a public-facing outcome, while the stated intention to produce one pavilion distinguishes it from a purely speculative ideas exercise.
The published information is nevertheless very brief. Before investing design time, entrants should request the site dimensions, safety and accessibility constraints, material or fabrication limits, budget, judging criteria, ownership and licence terms, and the scope of the winner’s role after selection. Written confirmation is especially important because these items are not stated in the official post.
