Contest Brief

In our church we are developing a new vision for the future. Our current church (building) must be renovated between now and ten years and we are now developing a vision about how it should look like. The building should help us in furfilling our Christian purpose. The area of the property is approximately 60x70=4200 square meters. We also would like to build 6-10 houses next to the new church, because there is a great need on houses in our village.

We just started and developed a conceptueel mindmap of things that we think that are relevant for the new complex/building. The purpose of this challenge is to get visual images, drawings, etc. that we can share within our community to discuss our vision of the building.

Challenge:
As said we are looking for images, drawings or other visuals, that can help us to tell and explain the above vision for the building. At this moment it isn't important to be realistic, and the ambiance is more important than the details. We are looking for QUICK sketches / images that supports our vision and that can help us in our communication. We are NOT looking for detailed images of how the building should look like. So, we are NOT looking for very detailed images, but looking for quick and dirty sketches or other images that can help us in our communication to and discussion with our church community.

The best drawing or image gets € 100 and the second and third get € 50. We would like you to inspire each other and therefore I decided to make it an open competition...

We already thank you for your time, we really appreciate that!
