Washington, November 30, 2010 — Midnight is the deadline to register for the National Ideas Competition for the Washington Monument Grounds. Registrants have until December 18th to submit their ideas.
“We are thrilled to see hundreds of people from all over the world registering for the Competition who think they have a good idea for improving this iconic space," said Competition Chair and Virginia Society AIA President-elect James P. Clark.
Clark points out that to register you don't have to have a project completed.
A limited number of registration stipends are available please contact washingtonmonument2010@gmail.com for information.
The Ideas Competition was established by an independent group of university professors, architects, designers, and civic leaders partnering with The George Washington University. While the Washington Monument is the defining feature of the Washington, D.C. skyline — and the centerpiece of the nation’s most symbolic public open space — at ground level its vast open space has never been fully realized. The Competition will engage the American public – including students, teachers, professors, and parents – in an educational opportunity to explore the role of the Washington Monument grounds in the civic life of our democracy.
The Competition is open to anyone 12 years of age and older. Participants must register by November 30, 2010. Entry submission deadline is December 18.
