pA HREF=”http://www.athensbenchmark.com/en/content/athens-bench-mark-english” Athens Bench Mark/A and A HREF=”http://www.athensbenchmark.com/en/content/future-bench-english” Future Bench/A are two concurrently-running design competitions aimed at designing benches (duh) for the city of Athens, Greece. The former contest specifies A HREF=”http://www.athensbenchmark.com/en/content/design-specifications” fairly strict design guidelines/A including disabled-friendly ergonomics, anti-vandalism finishes and mass production considerations, whereas the latter contest “allows artists and designers free range of their artistic expression without technical guidelines to limit them.”/p

pIf you’re one of the three winners of the Athens comp, the prize is simply mass production for the city of Athens and bragging rights; the three winners of the Future Bench comp will get cold, hard cash (3,000 Euros for 1st place, 2,000 Euros for 2nd, and 1,000 for 3rd.) Deadline for both is April 6th.br /
