Last Call for ULI Hines Competition -- Student Teams Must Sign Up by December 8 to Take Part in 2015 Competition
Washington, DC (PRWEB) December 04, 2014 -- The Urban Land Institute (ULI) has announced the last call for sign-ups in the 13th Annual ULI Hines Competition. The deadline for student team applications is set for Monday, December 8, 2014 at 5:00 p.m. EST. Only those student teams signed up by the cutoff are eligible to compete in January.
The ideas competition allows multidisciplinary graduate student teams the opportunity to devise an urban development vision and compete to win $50,000. The competition is designed to simulate an actual urban planning and development scenario where intensive collaboration across disciplines and sectors is required to complete a major real estate development. Since its first year in 2003, over 6,200 graduate students have participated in the ULI Hines Competition.
In the Hines Competition, students will have the chance to form a multidisciplinary team with four other graduate students in the United States or Canada and tackle a real land use challenge in a U.S. city. Teams of five students representing at least three disciplines have two weeks to develop solutions that include drawings, site plans, tables, and market-feasible financial data.
