The competition is titled Reimagining Cappadocia as an Eco District, and is organised by the GAD Foundation and supported by Indigo Group. Erdine’s fellow judges include David Basulto, Ayako Ezaki, Ferda Kolatan and Zoë Ryan, and the competition is open to young professionals under the age of 35 who hold a degree in architecture studies.
