120 hours is the world’s largest architectural competition for students, by students. Every spring since 2011 we publish an assignment for students around the globe to complete and submit within 120 hours. In our busiest years we receive 700+ entries from over 70 countries, exhibited and reviewed by a proficient, uniquely assembled jury. Confirmed jury members for 2024 include Ángel Borrego Cubero (Spain), Jette Hopp (Norway/Germany, Snøhetta), Lili Carr (Edinburgh), Thomas Vonier (USA/Paris) and Elena Marco (Bristol), thus far.
The 2024 edition of the competition will be posted on https://www.120hours.no/. Registration is already open. The task will be released on April 1st at 2 PM UTC +02.00. The deadline for entering is 120 hours later – April 6th at 2 PM UTC +02.00. Submissions can be done solo or in teams consisting of up to three students. Entering is completely free.
The competition takes place wherever you are – register, complete and submit digitally. Collectively, all submissions make up a public exhibition at the old Munch Museum in Oslo. The exhibition will also serve as base for the jury session.
Winners will be awarded with cash prizes of NOK 30 000 (1st place), NOK 15 000 (2nd place) and NOK 7500 (3rd place).
