Official 2010 SADI Entry Form:
Your entries must conform to the Entry Format detailed below. Companies submitting multiple projects should treat each project as a separate entry. The Official 2010 SADI Entry Form can be downloaded above, and at the bottom of this page.
The first part of your entry should be the completed Official Entry Form (either type-written or clearly printed). Please complete a separate Official Entry Form for each project being entered.1 - Official Entry Form
The entry form and payment can be submitted (either electronically or via mail) in advance of final materials.
The second part of the entry should be a Project Description -- up to 500 words maximum. The Project Description should a be basic word processing document. No logos, photos or other decorative elements may appear on the Project Description. Please use 12-point type.2 - Project Description
In the Project Description, the judges request that you specifically answer the following questions:
- What was your design mission?
- What were some of the challenges you faced in achieving your goal/mission?
- What was the budget for your project?
- Did you accomplish your goal?
In addition, information on design objectives, positioning strategies and image, aesthetics, problem-solving techniques used, material usage, shopability, merchandising, signage and lighting is greatly appreciated.
As part of the word document, the entry should include a list of the major product and service suppliers and their base cities, as well as a list of key project personnel.
Please include floor plans of the store or center as electronic images or PDFs. If a project is more than one level, please include a floor plan for each level. The floor plan(s) should be formatted to fit without scrolling on a standard monitor.
The last set of materials to be included are electronic images of the project.
3 - List of Suppliers and Key Personnel
For NEW Entries:
- Please submit 10 to 20 color .jpeg images of the project. Images should be set for screen resolution (72 dpi minimum) and should be large enough to fit as a full-screen display on standard monitors. Please show all aspects of a project to help give judges a complete sense of the retail environment.
4 - Floor Plans
For RENOVATED Entries:
- Please submit 10 "before" .jpeg images.
- Please submit 10 "after" color .jpeg images.
- Please identify which are "before" images and which are "after" images. (Please select images that show similar parts of the property or store from the same photo angle and distance for before and after photos. This provides judges the best sense of what was accomplished in the renovation. Before photos that are dark or taken from long distances may make the after photos look better, but don’t provide clarity in what the new design accomplished).
5 - Photograph Prints and Images
For RETAIL STORE Entries:
- All retail store entries MUST include a storefront shot.
For ALL Entries:
- Entry forms can be sent via email or regular mail. All other materials should be submitted via CD or flash drive.
