illumiNITE Design Competition and the Alley of Light
The Alley of Light is a hidden public space within the downtown core. With illumiNITE, the Alley of Light pocket park located directly North of Sobeys on Jasper Avenue (off 104th Street) will be transformed into an enlightened gallery space. This competition will challenge participating teams to design a structure, sculpture or art piece that incorporates the element of light. Eligible entries will be displayed on Saturday, February 25, 2012, creating a vibrant and animated gallery after sunset. With this competition, the light sculptures will bring life, vibrancy and warmth to an otherwise dark and lonely public park. Competition judging will occur during the evening gallery with the winners announced at the after-party. Gallery take down will occur Sunday, February 26.
If you are up to the challenge, a brief description of no more than 150 words and a sketch of the light design are required for entry! Entry submissions are due Friday, January 13, 2012 to the email:
