Station North Bike Rack Competition

Station North Bike Rack Competition-- thought I'd pass this information on:

"Station North Arts & Entertainment, Inc. announces the Station North Bike Rack Project. Eight (8) uniquely designed bike racks will be created and installed throughout the Station North Arts & Entertainment District to enhance the area with these sculptural installations, while simultaneously promoting bicycling within the city of Baltimore.

"This competition is open to the entire art and design community, including architects, artists, bicycle designers, engineers, landscape architects, planners, urban designers, industrial designers, and manufacturers, etc. Station North Arts & Entertainment, Inc. encourages multi-disciplinary teams to participate. At least 50% of the eight (8) designs chosen will be by designers located in the greater Baltimore metropolitan area.

"Designers will receive a $4,000 honorarium for each design that is selected. This honorarium includes the cost of fabricating the winning design. Designers will not be reimbursed for any costs associated with the creation of the Bike Racks beyond the agreed upon $4,000. $2,000 will be paid upon selection and acceptance of design and the signing of a contract; the remaining $2,000 will be paid upon receipt of the completed Bike Rack."
