Architects who are under 55 years old and live in Vietnam or in other countries are eligible for the selection, which seeks a representative for the country at a competition on architectural designs expressive of Southeast Asian identity.

The competition will feature works created by architects from ASEAN member states: Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Brunei Darussalam, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore and Myanmar, and three guest countries, South Korea, China and Japan.

Entries submitted for the national selection can include designs for museums and relic restoration projects which were put into operation in Vietnam two to seven years ago.
