A copy of the Press Release is included in the side bar of this webpage.
Each shortlisted team will receive a £10,000 honorarium and £5,000 for an interactive installation on the Canning Dock waterfront. They will be asked to submit details of their approach to the project including a short video and a single image that captures the character of the spaces that they would like to create on the waterfront. The competition will culminate in the teams attending an interview with the Jury Panel.
The teams will engage with the community and receive public feedback when they present their installations on the dockside in mid-July 2021. A Community Panel will review the Stage 2 submissions through a facilitated workshop and feed its thoughts through to the Jury Panel for consideration in its final deliberations.
We look forward to working with the teams and seeing what they come up with!
The competition is supported by £120,000 of funding from the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRA), as part of their Race Equality Programme.
“The standard of entries for the competition were of a very high calibre which made shortlisting very difficult. However, the final six shortlisted teams range from international to local, established to up-and-coming, and all the teams showed great diversity in their team members."
