whoever have the most media power will win the people's choice award because of more promotional opportunities.

i like the concept of this competition though.

[StudentCambodia]

the people's choice award will simply end up being whoever gets the most web-media power wins. For example if someone have 10 000 subscribers in youtube or run a popular architecture blog, then that person will win because of much more promotional opportunities.

the people's choice award is not important though, and I think it's a cool concept for a competition

there's no rule against building furniture i think. there's a rule against building washrooms, which I find baffling but it does make the design process a lot easier.

Too bad most entries will just be facades. It'd be nice to design the inside of a building, not just the exterior... :(
