Artist? Designer? Eight-year-old with a box of crayons and a great imagination? Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer has announced a contest in conjunction with Vision Louisville and the SoBro Neighborhood Association to artfully redesign four crosswalks on Fourth Street in the SoBro neighborhood. Crosswalks at Fourth Street and Broadway, York, Breckinridge, and Kentucky will get a makeover designed by four contest winners. The contest rules ask that the designs match the nature of each block. For example, Fourth and York is where Spalding University is, so the winning design should be education-related. Other criteria the judges will use: Originality of idea and form. The design is innovative and fulfills its intended function in a visually provocative way. Compliance with design detail specifications and appropriately scaled. Potential impact. The design makes a meaningful contribution to the space and aids in activating the site. Winning entries will be selected by a panel of judges from the SoBro Neighborhood Association, Louisville Metro Government, and the Commission on Public Art. Because crosswalks are a matter of public safety, there are a lot of rules and regulations about the specifics of the design. You can read the four-page list of rules here. Designs are due by noon on Aug. 22 and can be presented in hardcopy or digital form. The winning crosswalk designs will be painted by community members on Sept. 14.
