Queens Park Arena Competition Launch Day
The Queen's Park Arena Competition organised by the GIA and QPPP launched last Saturday and there are now photos of the day uploaded to the competition site. Its great to see how many people attended and how many designers (60+) have signed up to be part of it. This is fantastic not just because it means there will be some really interesting designs produced but also because I suggested the idea of the design competition and the involvement of the GIA and was a bit worried it wouldn't work but I'm just glad its been so successful for them.
We missed the event unfortunetly as we were down in London for the judging session of the Electoral Reform competition that I'd organised, but from the looks of things lots of you went along and checked it out. Let us know what you thought of the day and what you'd like to see in the final design.

Who are the judges? Do the public get a say?
Better not be the Community Councils and the Glasgow City Council who are judging this.
Would be pretty typical of Glasgow. Get a bunch of top designers to submit their ideas and then have these judged by people who don't actually know what they are talking about.
I'm not sure but think it will probably be a mix of people from the GIA and the QPPP steering group.
I see the entries have started being uploaded onto the competition site. Must say, much better than I thought. Was expecting a sub-par high school student series of entries. Some of these actually look amazing.
