This prize is named after the architect and urban designer Christopher Procter who died suddenly of DVT while arriving back to Sydney in November 2018 from the USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon graduation in Adelaide in 1986 Christopher won the University of Adelaide (then South Australian Institute of Technology) Medal, the Rod Roach Design Grant and the South Australian Gas Company Prize in Architecture. These enabled him to undertake research and travel that furthered his passion for design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Submissions for the 2020 Christopher Procter Prize were open from Monday 22 June<\/strong> and closed at 11:59pm on Monday 7 September 2020<\/strong>. The winner will be announced in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The jury will review submissions giving high consideration to the uncertainty of when people will again be able to travel safely and extensively and the unpredictability of travel arising from the current COVID-19 global pandemic.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
