Two winning teams will be awarded $8,000 each for their bridge redesigns in the Atlanta Bridgescape Competition, which will conclude at the 2015 National Convention of the American Institute of Architects, held this May 14 to 16 in Atlanta where the winners will be announced.

Central Atlanta Progress and the Midtown Alliance are calling for entries in the Atlanta Bridgescape Competition, a design contest to reconceive and enhance two existing interstate bridges.

"This competition allows us to tap into the best design talent and create a highly visible and lasting legacy for our city," said Kevin Green, CEO and president of Midtown Alliance. "We believe it will be a model for subsequent phases of work that will enhance the Connector."

The bridges are located at Midtown at 10th Street and downtown at Courtland Street/Ralph McGill Boulevard. The competition is a part of the overall I-75/85 Connector Transformation Project that was initiated to enhance the visual appearance of the Connector, to create a positive economic impact for the city and to improve the experience of pedestrians and motorists who travel along the roadway each day.

Additional information about the competition and details defining the design parameters are available on the competition's website at www.AtlantaBridgescapeCompetition.com. All submissions are due by March 3, 2015.
