I participate in architecture competitions to be able to explore topics or develop skills that I am not currently otherwise working on.

What advice would you give to individuals who struggle to decide whether it would be beneficial for them to participate in architecture competitions?

 If you have the opportunity, join your first competition in a group with people who have experience doing other competitions.
