A huge congratulations to all the great community members, artists, designers, and students who submitted a design idea for the NELA RC placemaking competition! We received 37 imaginative and exciting designs!  We're in the process of evaluating the projects with our partners and look forward to announcing the winners online February 28th. 

We are opening online voting to crown one of these projects as the People's Choice. While the winner of the People's Choice will not win one of the cash prizes, we will feature your winning project here on the website, and you will have the honor of being selected the People's Choice out of 36 other projects. So share the project with your networks and ask folks to vote by using the ballot found on the bottom of each submission page. We'll be opening up the online vote until February 27th and will share the winner of the 'People's Choice' along with the juried winners February 28th.
