Choose a site—used, abandoned, or forgotten—anywhere in the world, and give it a new purpose!
In a world facing urgent environmental and spatial challenges, the most sustainable solutions may come not from new construction, but from reimagining what already exists. Re:Form invites architects, designers, and innovators to embrace the challenge of adaptive reuse, working within spaces under 250 square meters to give them renewed purpose and relevance.

Participants are free to choose any existing structure—whether currently in use, abandoned, or neglected—anywhere in the world. From unused storefronts and aging sheds to underutilized garages or portions of larger buildings, each project should demonstrate the potential to transform a limited footprint into something innovative and impactful.

This competition celebrates the ingenuity required to balance sustainability, functionality, and design within an existing space. How can we rethink these structures to serve new purposes, meet contemporary needs, and make a positive impact on their communities? Re:Form is an invitation to bring fresh perspectives to old spaces, showing that thoughtful adaptation can be a powerful tool in shaping a sustainable future.

The Prem Jain Memorial Trust National Green Earth Challenge invites students of Engineering, Architecture, and Design colleges across India to tackle critical environmental challenges by developing innovative and sustainable design solutions for the built environment. With the mounting pressures of climate change, resource depletion, and urbanization, this challenge emphasizes the importance of a transdisciplinary, integrated approach. Participants will blend insights from various disciplines to create solutions that are not only eco-friendly but also socially inclusive.
The PJMT National Green Earth Challenge this year will focus on two distinct themes: 

• The Arch-Eng Challenge: The Arch-Eng theme encourages Architecture and Engineering students to create sustainable design solutions that are rooted in evidence and address issues related to the environment & people. The challenge emphasizes a transdisciplinary approach, integrating the environmental, social, and technological aspects while designing the solution. Participants should bring their innovative ideas and subject matter expertise to reinvent conventional practices or provide an alternate solution to enhance efficiency. 
• The Design Challenge: The Design category of the PJMT National Green Earth Challenge aims to promote sustainability by transforming available materials into innovative products that benefit humanity, communities, society, and the environment as a whole. Our planet faces escalating environmental challenges, from resource scarcity to mounting waste and pollution. Designers have a unique ability to shape how products are created, used, and discarded. In this challenge, we ask you to reimagine design processes through the lens of circularity—creating innovative solutions that keep materials in use for as long as possible, minimize waste, and regenerate natural systems. 

Who can participate? 

• The challenge is open to undergraduate students currently enrolled in architecture, engineering, or design programs. 
• You can participate individually or form teams of 2 or 3 members. Teams can consist of students from different batches or colleges, as long as all members meet the eligibility criteria. 
• Eligibility is restricted to Indian citizens. 

Stages of Evaluation 

• First Stage: A panel of experts in the field will review all applications and rank the top solutions from four zones – North, East, South, and West. 
• Second Stage: The top solutions will present their submissions online to a distinguished jury in each zone. Per zone, three prizes will be awarded at this stage: zonal winner, zonal first runner-up, and zonal second runner-up. 
• Third Stage: The zonal winners and first runners-up advance to the third stage, competing in Delhi for the National Prize. They will present their solutions while incorporating feedback from previous stages. A national winner and national runner-up will be announced at this stage. 

Awards: 

The following awards* are available for both categories: 

• National Round:  
  • Winner: ₹1,50,000 
  • Runner-Up: ₹50,000
