Entering is free. One registration covers every entry from a practice.

Round 1: a preliminary review grades each entry A, B or C. A-grade entries go to the jury.
Round 2: the jury scores A-grade entries online on spatial idea, material and craft, water experience, and light and detail.
Honorary awards are decided as announced by the Organiser, including a public vote for Bath Space of the Year.
Jurors declare any conflict of interest and do not score entries they are connected to.
The decisions of the jury and the Organiser are final. No correspondence will be entered into about results.
