Each Candidate is required to declare and maintain a single and continuous point of contact in their organisation for throughout the duration of the Design Competition. Each Candidate is responsible for ensuring that RIBA Competitions are made aware of any changes to the single point of contact details (via e-mail to riba.competitions@riba.org) as soon as they become known.


RIBA Competitions shall not be responsible for contacting Candidates through any route other than via e-mail to the nominated contact and/or from the RIBASubmit system.
