Fairy Tales 2016: Blank Space launches third annual architetcure storytelling competition. After the record breaking success of Fairy Tales 2015, with over 1,200 participants from 65 different countries, Blank Space is excited to announce that the third edition of the competition is now open for registration. ''Dear Architecture'' competition has focused on many critical issues for architecture profession-as verbal, visual and language. This time, Fairy Tales 2016 pushes it further and goes beyond architecture and communication that creates a creative mixed-media with limited images and innovating stories.
The Fairy Tales competition invites architects, designers, writers, artists, engineers, illustrators, students and creatives to submit their own unique architectural fairy tales. The scale, location, and program of the submission is up to each entrant. A successful entry crafts a text narrative, along with 5 images, in the most spectacular way possible.
