The applicants whose design proposals are selected for main evaluation will decide, before going into the main selection process, whether they will have full-scale prototypes made by a furniture manufacturer in Asahikawa or will make their own prototypes. If the organizer judges that the prototype cannot be produced by a manufacturer in Asahikawa, the applicant will need to submit their own prototype.
參賽者需提供設計全比例圖與詳圖。The applicants will submit both full-size and detailed plans of the designs. The applicant will be informed of the due date after the preliminary selection.
主辦單位將負責原型製作的全部費用。The organizer will bear all costs of making the prototypes in Asahikawa.
The applicants will bear correspondence expenses and traveling expenses when they voluntarily visit Asahikawa for discussions on this matter.
Applicants who wish to submit their own prototypes to the main evaluation process can forward their prototypes to the IFDA Organizing Committee for judgment. They will be informed of the date and how to forward the prototypes after the preliminary selection.
如果原型未能在期限前被主辦單位收到，則取消參賽資格並負擔原型製作與運輸的費用。If the prototype is not received by the deadline, the applicant will be disqualified.
