The purpose of the vision competition is to get a sense of design strategies and each
lead designer-A/E team's approach to design problems. It is not to solicit a project design.
When this stage is complete, the evaluation of the vision competition by the independent
jury, as well as Stages I and II evaluations, will be used by the A/E Evaluation Board to
p re p a re a ranking of Stage III lead designer-A/E teams.
