Artists Wanted for CK Bike Rack Design Competition

If you can draw, you can win. It’s that simple.

The Chatham-Kent Public Health Unit is teaming up with the libraries and ARTspace to put on a competition to design the best bike racks.

Caress Lee Carpenter is the community outreach and public relations officer with the Health Unit.

“Basically the eligibility is wide open, and we just need applicants to do a design on a white background. It can either be hand drawn, or they can use computer program to do it, and all that they need to submit is a little bit about themselves, a bit about their design and their contact information and the design itself. You don’t need to be an engineer or a classically trained artist or a fabricator – you just have to have the idea and be able to get it on paper,” explains Carpenter.

The winner gets a $1,000 honorarium, with five bike racks to be located outside libraries and the 6th outside the civic centre. The deadline is May 1st.
