The competition seeks complex, multidisciplinary design responses from a broad spectrum of innovative designers. Dialogue and publication of competition entries will be used to promote vigorous discussion about place-based and replicable innovation in public space design, including a public showcase of the most inspiring entries.

The competition is a two-phase process. In Phase 1, the jury will select up to three finalist teams to receive $30,000 to fully develop their ideas. In addition, up to seven projects will be recognized with commendations or merit awards.  A broad range of proposals will be recognized through a variety of awards, programs, exhibits and publications.  In Phase 2, a Grand Prize Winner will be chosen from the finalist entries, for an additional cash prize of $30,000.

(Note: a professional design contract will not be awarded on the basis of this competition.)
