As its name states, the competition challenges participants to solve a complex and socially relevant problem in exactly 120 hours, or 5 days. 120 Hours 2014 begins once the assignment is revealed on Monday, Feb. 17 at 14:00 (GMT+1) and ends on Saturday, Feb. 22. Three winning proposals will be selected.&nbsp;<br><br>120 Hours has grown immensely since its inception in 2010. Last year's edition brought in a record-breaking 420 student teams from 103 Universities in 44 countries. For 2014, the <em>120 Hours </em>group hopes to have the winning submission realized.</p><p>This year's jury features:</p><ul><li>Ellen van Loon - OMA partner and 120 Hours jury leader</li><li>Nanne de Ru - co-founder of Powerhouse Company and director of The Berlage</li><li>Eva Franch i Gilabert - director of Storefront for Art and Architecture; founder of office of architectural affairs</li><li>Alfredo Brillembourg - Urban Think-Tank founding ...</li></ul>
