DawnTown, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting architecture in
Miami, is announcing an open call for portfolios to their new competition: DAWNTOWN DESIGN/BUILD.

In the last four years, DawnTown’s annual ideas competitions have attracted designers from around the world
to present new and creative possibilities for Miami. Now in its fifth year, DawnTown seeks to turn these ideas
into reality through DAWNTOWN DESIGN/BUILD . This competition seeks the talents of a designer or design
team to create a low cost, innovative, and temporary installation in Miami.

The competition is open to architects, artists, and all creative professionals. Designers can work individually or
collaboratively in teams, with the requirement that at least one team member is located in the United States.
Interested designers/design teams must submit a six(6) page PDF. The PDF should include all competing
participants with a short biography of each, a one(1) page essay on their design philosophy, and samples of
their existing work(either built/unbuilt). Work samples should demonstrate an entrant’s ability to be artistic
and innovative. Entries will be collected from September 17th 2012 to October 31st 2012, with finalists
being announced on November 15th 2012. For complete rules and requirements to register, visit our
