4. Selection procedures
1st selection procedure: In March 2002, the jury will select approximately 30 preliminary design projects per category. For each of these, the candidate must then compile detailed technical specifications which will be examined by the jury in May 2002.

2nd selection procedure: On the basis of these new submissions, the jury will select a maximum of between 5 and 10 design projects per category (students and young professionals). A prototype can be made for each of these projects by virtue of a partnership between an eyewear company and the student and on the basis of the specifications supplied by the latter. The candidate shall be free to choose whether or not to work with one of the Lunetiers du Jura partner companies. Should the student so wish, the organisers will take it upon themselves to direct him/her to the structure most suited to his/her design project. A signed agreement between this company, the candidate and the Lunetiers du Jura will stipulate the terms of the partnership and procedures for partial coverage of transport and accommodation costs.

Last selection procedure: In October 2002, the jury will examine the prototypes and draw up its prize list.

5. Selection criteria
Design projects submitted by students and professionals will be short-listed separately. In the design project the jury will assess creative and personal reflection and presentation of an innovative design concept. Selection will also be on the basis of aesthetics and image, the environment produced and the quality of the presentation (graphics and editorial) 1st selection procedure:
