1. Brief

This brief provides guidelines, information, rules and requirements for partaking in

the competition.

2. About the Competition

Celebrating 13 years in the architecture industry and recently becoming part of

the Old Biscuit Mill family, Boudry Architects are initiating a competition for a

permanent artwork/ public furniture, displayed at the Old Biscuit Mill, to mark this

achievement.

3.Vision

We are looking at submissions that are dedicated to the celebration of the multi-

cultural and collaborative nature of Woodstock.

The artwork must be a durable, weather resistant, permanent structure.

The selected pieces will be installed in the public area(s) of the Old Biscuit Mill.

The work should be a representation of the unique character of Woodstock and

its people, looking to commemorate the past and share a vision for the future.

Upon completion, the work will be part of the permanent arrangement of the

Old Biscuit Mill public space.

4. Adjudicating

The competition can be entered by all artists from all age groups. A panel of

judges will evaluate all entries, taking into account the understanding and

representation of the vision, creative execution and ease of installation /

maintenance.

The adjudicating panel will draw up a shortlist of entries on an initial review of the

submissions. Fifteen designs /artworks and five public furniture sets will be chosen

and artists will need to do a brief presentation to the panel to explain the

concept, design and installation.

All artworks and public furniture will be displayed at the Boudry Architects studio

at the Old Biscuit Mill for 2 weeks and be open to the public during the week and

on Saturdays.

5. Award

The winning artist/ team’s work will be installed in the public area(s) of the Old

Biscuit Mill – exposure not to be bought with money.

One artwork and one piece of public furniture will be selected.

The winner will be announced on the 30th of August at a gala evening at Boudry

Architects Studios and the final outdoor installation should be completed by 5

September 2016.

6. Requirements of the installation/artwork

Evoke and provide enjoyment for a broad audience. Bear in mind that

the Old Biscuit Mill receives a lot of local and international clients and all

viewers should be able to find delight in the work.
