In 1901 Glasgow architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his artist wife Margaret MacDonald entered a Germany-based competition to design a 'Grand Residence for an Art Lover'. Their entry was disqualified as incomplete but the couple submitted the missing perspectives and their design was awarded a purchase prize meaning that their portfolio of plans together with the second and third prize winners entries was circulated throughout Europe. That no first prize was awarded has lead many people since that time to surmise that Mackintosh & MacDonald would have one the competition if they had submitted a complete proposal by the required deadline.
