Winter Stations is once again calling on the international design community to submit their visions for Toronto's winter waterfront as registration opens for the 2016 competition. Submissions are due on November 12, 2015 with winners announced in early January 2016.
Competitors are challenged to create temporary wintertime installations anchored to the utilitarian life guard stands along Toronto's east end beaches. This year’s theme, Freeze/Thaw, asks designers and artists to respond to the changing climactic conditions and transitions of the Toronto winter. Designs may anticipate the coming Spring or stay rooted in the frigid Winter. Either way, concepts should be playful and provocative, creatively utilizing materials and site to echo the Freeze/Thaw narrative and engage with the public.
