GAUDÍ
TRUTH & ERRORS CONTEST
How the contest works
The contest
will be held from September-December 2002, in 8 stages -or issues-
of 3 questions each. Each issue will include:
I. One question
about Gaudí's life
II. One question related to one of the architect's works
III. One question about curious facts associated with Gaudí
For each
question, contestants must choose a single correct answer from
four possible options. The questions also allow for extensive
commentary. The contest evaluation team can award up to 3 gaudins
(points) for a well-defended response that the team considers
valid.
Each stage
only will be correct if all three questions have a correctly
answer. For two stages, only those contestants who correctly
answer all six questions will receive a prize.
At the same time,
gaudins can be accumulated to obtain a special final prize,
independent of the awards obtained in each stage.
Contest rules:
1.
Participants must be members of the Gaudí & Barcelona
Club. Free
register.
2.
Only one response will be accepted from each contestant for
each set of questions. If more than one response is received
from the same contestant for the same stage, the Gaudí

3.
One stage only will be correct if all three questions that compose
it are guessed right. To gain every prize it's necessary to
answer correctly two series.
4. The three questions that compose each stage will be
sent out along with the Gaudí News newsletter, which
is sent via e-mail to each club member. The Gaudí News

the previous stage, along with an article that will feature
explanations of the correct answers.
5.
The most intelligently drafted written responses received from
the contestants will be published on the Gaudí &
Barcelona Club website, including the author's name.
6.
At the discretion of the contest evaluation team, up to 3 gaudins
(points) may be awarded for each comment that is considered
correct.
7.
In order for the evaluation team to take the optional comments
into account, all three questions in that set must be answered

2. PRIZES FOR ACCUMULATING "GAUDINES"

commentaries in order to obtain gaudins (points) is optional.
This allows contestants to obtain a different prize from the
prizes corresponding to each stage.

up to 9 gaudins can be garnered in each stage if all three answers
are correct and well defended. Please note: the commentaries
will not be taken into account if the answers to all three questions
are not correct.
