Design Challenge:
The urbancanvas Design Competition is an opportunity for professional artists and designers to develop designs that enliven temporary protective structures and enhance quality of life. By using these structures as blank artwork canvases, artists and designers can create a more inviting environment for residents, businesses and visitors.
Participants must develop individual artwork for construction fences, sidewalk sheds above active businesses, sidewalk sheds above non-active businesses, supported scaffolds and cocoon systems that are compatible in a variety of possible combinations and represent a cohesive artistic vision. Considered a unit, these five specific pieces of artwork will be called the urbancanvas Artwork Package.
Participants must consider that construction sites often have more than one type of temporary structure installed at any given time. Therefore, artwork must be able to stand alone or complement another piece from the package if installed at the same location.
Participants must also consider the diversity of New York City's construction sites and generate submissions that work effectively on any site, regardless of size or location. Construction fences and sidewalk sheds can span the front of a small building within a block, but can also cover a full city block at larger construction sites.
Please note that the urbancanvas Design Competition website may include additional or more recent information than found in the printable version. Potential participants are encouraged to check the competition website prior to submission.
Submission Requirements:
* Projects must be submitted on one CD or one DVD with digital files as outlined in the Presentation Requirements.
* This CD or DVD must be labeled only with your registration ID number.
* An envelope with a copy of the registration form signed by the Primary Registrant must accompany the CD or DVD submission.
