Playable10: International Playground Design Competition

If you have better ideas for the playground of the future than those below, be sure to enter Playable10.

"Playable10:International Design Competition invites designers of all types from around the world to design playground structures and spaces that will give a sense of place, wonder and fun so strong that they will entice children, teens and adults outdoors to play. Winners will be selected by a diverse jury" (of which yours truly is one member!)

The DEADLINE for registration is October 1, and October 15 is the submission deadline for the following prizes in three categories:

a.) Playable Art: One (1) winning playspace will be built in Woodruff Park in downtown Atlanta in 2011

b.) Playable Site: One (1) winning conceptual master plan for play will be presented to the Atlanta Beltline, James Corner Field Operations, and Perkins + Will for their review as they develop the Beltline master plan. The winner has the potential to be a great influence on the Atlanta Beltline

c.) Playable DIY: All semi-finalist designs will be reproduced in a free downloadable DIY instruction manual for anyone to use. This manual will be promoted internationally. At least one (1) winning DIY project will be built and the process captured in a documentary/pilot

I'm really excited about what will be submitted, and hoping for some truly unique ideas...maybe I'll see yours?
