This 2011 COMPETITIONS Annual represents some of the more interesting competitions which have taken place during the 2010/2011 years, most of which have been covered on our website, www.competitions.org. It represents a mix of open, anonymous competitions, and restricted, invited competitions, whereby finalists in the latter have been shortlisted via a screening process. Due mainly to a lagging economy in the U.S., competitions for real projects were almost absent in the U.S., and most of those that did take place almost invariably involved an RfQ and shortlisting process. Instead, we saw a growing list of both limited and open competitions in Europe and Asia. Most surprising were competitions taking place in Serbia and Albania, two countries which had not opened competitions to foreigners until very recently—previously commissioned projects to foreign firms notwithstanding. Also in Eastern Europe, Poland, a country which has been staging their own internal competitions for several years, has opened some high-profile competitions to the international community of design professionals. But most of the open competitions for real projects have occurred in Taiwan, where architects from the U.S. and elsewhere have been quite successful. The global character of this phenomenon is unmistakable, and this book takes this into account.
