2022 NEPA Regional Bridge Building Competition Criteria
These rules have been developed by the International Bridge Building Committee for the 2022 International Bridge Building Contest to be held on Saturday, May 7, 2022 in Moscow, PA, USA.

In order to receive official wood and participate in the contest, contact Paul Schneider by e-mail at [email protected]. Each school is limited to three bridges from 3 different competitors (NO TEAMS ARE PERMITTED). Students may participate in person, by proxy, or by mail entry.
The competition is currently planned for in-person participation but may become a virtual competition depending on CDC Guidelines at the time of the competition.

The object of this contest is to see who can design, construct and test the most efficient bridge within the criteria established below. Model bridges are intended to be simplified versions of real-world bridges, which are designed to permit a load to travel across the entire bridge. In order to simplify the model bridge design process, the number of loading positions is reduced, and to allow the contest to proceed in a reasonable amount of time, only one loading position is actually tested. These simplifications do not negate the requirement that the bridge must be designed to accept a load at any of the positions. Bridges determined by the judges to not meet this requirement will be disqualified and tested as unofficial bridges.
