Deadlines and Fees 2026
Participation in the Streetlife Design Competition requires formal registration. A team is considered registered only once the online form is submitted and the fee is paid. Submissions from unregistered teams will not be evaluated by the jury.
Fees are tiered based on the following schedule:
Early Registration: (Until 30 June) — €50
Standard Registration: (1 July – 30 September) — €75
Late Registration: (1 October – 30 November) — €100
Universities that are members of Landezine may enjoy a discount for their teams. Check if your uni is a member of Landezine.
Who Can Participate?
The competition is open to multidisciplinary teams worldwide. Each team must include at least one landscape architect. Teams composed solely of landscape architects are eligible; however, the inclusion of additional disciplines (such as architecture, industrial design, biology, sociology, or philosophy) will be considered an advantage.
Registration Categories:
University-led teams: Registered by a faculty member or professor.
Independent student teams: Groups working without official university guidance.
Young professionals: Independent teams of practitioners.
Mixed teams: Collaborations between students and young professionals.
Note: This competition is for individuals and academic groups; established offices or commercial brands are ineligible.
Members of the jury:
Elizabeth K. Meyer, Endowed Professor of Landscape Architecture at UVA, Maria Hellström Reimer, Professor in Design in Theory and Practice at Malmö University, Eric-Jan Pleijster, Partner and co-founder of LOLA, will be joined by Thomas Lub, Director of Streetlife America and Zaš Brezar, founder and editor-in-chief of Landezine.
Where is ‘Lost Site’?
“Lost sites” are urban byproducts of neglect, wrong maintenance or failed planning. This competition seeks bold, conceptual visions that challenge the status quo of urban development. You may select a local site for physical analysis or a distant site via digital access.
Note: Proposals are purely conceptual and will not be realized.
