About the Competition

Design and install a temporary glowing gateway installation for the annual FoolMoon celebration in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This installation is meant to be a beacon for the event at the entry point to the festivities. In the spirit of the FoolMoon night, the installation must be illuminated in some way. Consider design and fabrication based on a temporary installation schedule and event. A super temporary installation should be quick to assemble and create an exciting environment for everyone.

About FoolMoon

FoolMoon is the nighttime kick-off event to the FOOL-ish weekend. In the Ann Arbor Farmer’s Market in Kerrytown, everyone and anyone is invited to gather in the streets to shake off those cold gray winters. The skyline will be filled with luminaries, interactive installations, laser shows, a beer tent, DJ’s raised into the air, and live dance performances. A parade of home made luminaries will move through Downtown Ann Arbor and finish at the Ann Arbor Farmer’s Market. This year’s theme will be a celebration of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day.

Award

One winning design team or individual will have a budget of $1,000.00 USD to design, fabricate, and install the installation on the day of the event.
