Columbus Re-Wired Competition Extends Deadlines
I hadn't posted more on this guy before because it seemed to be happening faster than I could react. I guess the sponsors of the Columbus Re-Wired competition must have felt the same way, because they've extended the deadlines for participating from May to August!Columbus Re-Wired is an urban design competition focusing on public transportation. According to the Columbus Re-Wired site, Columbus is the largest city in the US without "significant forms of robust public transportation."
We all know that we're going to need something more robust than COTA and individual vehicles in coming years. A competition is a great way to engage creative people, who seem to thrive on deadlines. Monetary prizes are a bonus, too! This competition awards $8,000 for first prize.
