Erie, PA, March 04, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Erie area artists are invited to submit designs for bike racks to be installed throughout the community. The first phase of the project will focus on downtown Erie, where at least 40 bike racks will be installed during summer 2012.

There are no entry fees for this competition. Designs selected for factory production will receive a $500 design award. Designs that are selected to be fabricated by the artist will also receive a $500 design award, as well as a negotiated fabrication fee, not to exceed $1,500.
All submissions must be received by midnight, March 31, 2012 (by 5 p.m. for hand-delivered entries). Designs may be submitted by email to bikeracks@erieartmuseum.org or mailed or hand-delivered to: BIKE RACKS, Erie Art Museum, 411 State Street, Erie, PA 16501-1106.
