Brick Bay Sculpture Trust invites proposals for large-scale projects and installations that explore contemporary interpretations of the architectural folly, with the winning design build project to be exhibited at Brick Bay.

The aim of the Folly award is to encourage young and emerging designers or students to explore the intersections between architecture and sculpture, and the increasing overlap between the two disciplines.

The Brick Bay Folly 2019 is open to recent architectural graduates (within 10 years of graduation) and students currently enrolled in an accredited undergraduate, postgraduate or doctoral level architectural programme at any New Zealand tertiary institution (including international students who are currently enrolled in a New Zealand institution).

A jury of architects, artists, academics, building experts, engineers and previous Folly winners will select one exceptional project to be realised within the grounds of Brick Bay Sculpture Trail.

The successful recipient/s will receive an overall $30,000 grant towards building the project.

The deadline for submissions is midnight, 1 February, 2019 and finalists will be notified on 1 March 2019.

The Brick Bay Folly is sponsored by Resene, Unitec, Architecture New Zealand, ArchitectureNow and Sam Hartnett Photography.
