The judging panel which will choose the wining entry to create an art installation for The Hive, Argent’s new office development in Stevenson Square in Manchester targeting ‘creative industries’, has been reinforced with the addition of Peter Saville, one of the city’s best known designers in recent years.
The panel is seeking an iconic symbol that in its view best represents Manchester’s creative industries.
The competition, which was launched in April and has attracted over 2,000 entries, closes on 22 June.
Argent’s joint chief executive, David Partridge said: “We’re pleased that so many Mancunian designers are showing an interest in this once in a lifetime opportunity to leave a permanent, creative mark on this famously creative city… not to mention win £5,000.
“We are also enthused with Peter Saville’s involvement. He will add kudos to the development while presenting potential entrants with the opportunity to have their work reviewed by one of Britain’s most influential designers.”
Other members of the judging panel include Manchester City Council leader Sir Richard Leese, Manchester City Galleries’ director Virginia Tandy, Urban Life Manchester Evening News property editor Jill Burdett and Dinosaur creative agency directors Mark Beaumont and Chris Lloyd.
The first phase of the Hive is due to be completed in 2008.
