Hi Sundeep,

Hope you don’t mind me messaging you, I work for Octopus Communications, a PR agency that works for global technology company Cisco.

Cisco, in partnership with RIBA, The Guardian, RSA and The Eden Project, has launched a competition, which I thought might be of interest to members of your group, Yorkshire Architecture Students.

The competition is called Urban 2020 and has been launched to generate debate around the development of sustainable, connected urban spaces.

The competition is free to enter and any UK-based student is eligible. All you need is a vision for what the connected urban community of the future will be like.

The judging panel will be made up of representatives from Cisco, RIBA, The Guardian, RSA, The Eden Project amongst others. This is a great opportunity for architecture students to get their work seen by leading experts - as well as win a great prize.

Finalists’ ideas will be showcased for one week at the Royal Institute of British Architects, and a cash prize of £2,000 is offered for the winning entry.

More details on entering Urban 2020 can be found here: www.cisco.com/uk/urban2020

If you think this is something you or your friends might be interested in please do pass on this information.

Feel free to get in touch with any questions,
Phil
