design entered in competition

A structure's design is officially registered in an architectural competition to select a design for a proposed structure.

The design for a structure is entered in an architectural competition when it is officially registered in a contest designed to choose the design for a proposed structure. This event initiates the structure's status as a competition entry, and is skipped when the design process does not include such a competition. Until the winner of the competition is selected, entries in the competition should not be regarded as active proposals.

Official registration in the selection contest establishes this event. Developing a design without entering such a contest does not create a competition-entry milestone.

Selection that leads to a serious proposal is recorded as design wins competition. Design not chosen in competition also covers a winning entry when the contest produces no active proposal.
