Abstract
Architectural competitions enable students to demonstratepractical skills acquired from their education. Participation in competitions stimulates creativity, motivating students to create better, bolder projects. Participating in competitions is a way for students to understand their skill levels as compared with those of other participants and helps to understand the effect of the teaching. The competition project forces students to search for original solutions. Although the project is based on knowledge acquired during studies, it is completely independent. An additional incentive for making students do their best is that evaluation of their work will be made public. This forces studentsto work harder on the competition projects than on their regular course projects. The students’ engagement leads tonew knowledge acquisition, skills broadening and creativity boost. In this way, the main goal of student competitions, which is to support the teaching process and develop students’ creativity, can be achieved.
