The assignment · Closes Wednesday 2 December

Send in your map

Your land interview, your base map and your sectors. Everyone who submits brings their project to the masterclass on 5 December and can send questions ahead.

Three are chosen to be designed live, and one wins a full scholarship to the Designers’ Incubator, our year-long program.

Your name

Where is your land?

Country and region is enough.

Roughly how big is it?

Hectares or acres.

What does it produce today?

Nothing yet is a perfectly good answer.

Your land interview

As many of the eight as you could: Climate, Landform, Water, Access, Trees, Structures, Subdivision, Soil. Blanks are information too.

Your base map

A photo of your drawing, a screenshot or a PDF. Rough is fine. This one we do need.

Your sectors

Only if they are on a separate sheet. If you drew them on the map above, skip this.

A photo of your notes

Optional, if you wrote the interview by hand instead of typing it above.

Which route did you use?

Contour interval

If you marked contours. Otherwise leave it.

Your mission statement

The two sentences from lesson 4.

The one question you'd most like answered about your land

This is the one Neal answers on the call, so make it the one that matters.

If my land is chosen, I’m happy for it to be shown and discussed in the live session.

Closes Wednesday 2 December. Rough is fine; empty is the only thing that doesn’t count.
