Architects and designers of all shortlisted projects will be invited to attend the 2014 WAF and give a live presentation to a panel of judges, asserting their case for why their project should win.
The prize is judged on the basis of the best performance in a building scheme that demonstrates design excellence in multi-storey design with an emphasis on sustainability.
The design competition is open to Australian students, and this year's theme is 'Creating Healthy Homes'.
