The competition has garnered wide recognition in Mexico and abroad over the past eight years. Of the 760 participants who enrolled last year, 70% were from Mexico, 10% were from the United States, while the remainder hailed from some 32 different countries. Different urban and architectural themes are addressed each year in the competition: “A Site Museum for Tulum”, “A Pedestrian Border Crossing” and a “Re-Inhabiting the Center of Mexico City”, among others.
