Berkeley Prize Essay Competition 2006The Berkeley Prize Undergraduate Essay Competition was established in the Department of Architecture at the University of California, Berkeley to promote architecture as a social art through research, writing, and criticism: traditionally under-represented aspects of the architecture curriculum.
Each year, the Prize Committee selects a topic important to the understanding of the interaction of people and the built world.
This year the topic is: Children and the City.
The Committee then poses a Question on this web site related to the topic.
Students enrolled in any undergraduate architecture program throughout the world are invited to submit a 500-word essay proposal responding to the Question.
From this pool of essays, approximately 25 are selected by the Prize Committee as particularly promising.
The 25 selected students become Semi-Finalists.
These Semi-Finalists are then asked to submit a 2,500-word essay expanding on their proposals.
A group of readers, composed of Committee members and invited colleagues, selects five-to-eight of the best essays and sends these Finalists on to a jury of international academics and architects to select the winners.
Starting this year, all Semi-Finalists will also be invited to participate in the Third Annual Berkeley Prize Travel Fellowship Competition.
