XXXIX+I

RESULTS

posted November 3, 1997

A jury reviewed the submissions in XXXIX+I and subsequently made the recommendation that there not be 39 'winners'.  The reason given was that the work submitted did not meet the standards established by XXXIX in 1996.  Not surprisingly, some of the exhibited works were authored by architects already exhibited in XXXIX.  The jury recommended that numerous registrants be returned their submission and registration fee in addition to a note suggesting that the registrant polish up on his or her skills.  Regardless, the 'Magnificent 7' are presented as per the jurors' wishes without further apology:
