The European Architecture Design Award (“EADA”) is owned by Farmani Group Inc., 5101 Santa Monica Blvd, Ste 8 PMB 1192, Los Angeles, CA 90029, USA (“Farmani Group”).

EADA is operated under license by Blue Dot Solutions Limited, 20F Euro Trade Center, 21–23 Des Voeux Road Central, Hong Kong (“Blue Dot Solutions”).

• For entrants based in Hong Kong, the contractual relationship is between the entrant and Farmani Group Inc. (USA).
• For entrants based outside Hong Kong, the contractual relationship is between the entrant and Blue Dot Solutions Limited (Hong Kong).

Both entities are hereafter referred to collectively as “EADA,” “we,” “our,” or “us.” All participation in the European Architecture Design Award (“the Award”) is governed by these Terms and Conditions.

These Terms govern all relationships between EADA and participants, including registration, submission, communication, payment, award evaluation, publication, and post-award use of materials.

The Award is open to professional architects, architecture and design studios, firms, engineers, developers and students worldwide who have created buildings, interior projects, urban schemes, or architectural concepts that meet EADA’s submission criteria. EADA reserves the right to refuse any entry that does not meet eligibility, quality, or ethical standards.

A contract between the entrant and EADA is formed when the entrant completes online registration and EADA issues written or electronic confirmation of acceptance. EADA may reject or cancel registrations that contain incomplete or inaccurate information.

You agree not to use the Site to distribute unlawful, harmful or infringing content, to circumvent access controls, to attempt to access other accounts, or to interfere with the normal operation of the Site. EADA may suspend or terminate any account found in breach of this section, without refund.

1. The entrant warrants that all materials submitted (including images, drawings, renderings, text, video, and design content) are original works and that the entrant holds all rights necessary for participation and publication.
2. The entrant grants EADA a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, edit, translate, publish, display, and distribute submitted materials in any media for purposes including but not limited to: jury evaluation, promotion of the Award, exhibitions, press releases, and archival reference.
3. EADA will credit the entrant and, where provided, the credited photographer.
4. The entrant indemnifies EADA against all claims by third parties relating to infringement of rights.
5. EADA may withdraw or revoke an award if plagiarism or legal infringement is discovered after results are announced.

1. Applicable entry fees, category rates, discounts and packages are those displayed on the EADA website at the moment of your entry, and are due immediately upon invoicing.
2. Payments must be made using the methods specified on the EADA website.
3. Failure to pay within the stated deadline may result in cancellation of participation.
4. Except where legally required, fees are non-refundable once the submission period has closed or jury evaluation has commenced.

Entrants may cancel participation in writing within 14 days of registration provided the jury process has not begun. A processing fee may apply. After the start of evaluation, withdrawal does not entitle the entrant to any refund.

Entries are assessed by an independent panel of jurors appointed by EADA. Jury deliberations are confidential and decisions are final.

Award results, participant names, project titles, and visual materials may be published on EADA’s website, in digital and printed media, and in partner communications.

2. To the extent permitted by law, EADA’s liability is limited to intent or gross negligence.
3. In any event, EADA’s aggregate liability to any entrant, arising out of or in connection with participation in the Award, shall not exceed the entry fee actually paid by that entrant.
4. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

EADA processes personal data in accordance with its Privacy Policy and applicable data-protection laws. By registering, entrants consent to such processing.

EADA shall not be responsible for any delay, cancellation, or modification of the Award caused by events beyond its reasonable control.

EADA reserves the right to amend these Terms and Conditions at any time. The version in effect at the time of registration shall apply.
