Beam Camp, a specialized summer camp for building and collaboration located in Strafford, NH, announces its annual international search to find its 2016 Beam Projects. The large-scale collaborative projects are realized by Beam campers, aged 10-17, and staff at the camp’s 106-acre facility in Strafford, New Hampshire.
Projects are budgeted at $12,500. Winning designers receive a $3,000 honorarium, travel costs, and are invited to visit camp during the project’s production.
Proposals can be submitted on the Beam Camp website until Sunday, January 17, 2016 with Semi-finalists announced on Monday, January 25, 2016. (submission page: http://www.beamcamp.com/project-proposal/)
Beam offers these prompts for proposals:
- Big ideas that result in a unique, ambitious, and spectacular product
- Projects that are ambitious enough to occupy and challenge 108 campers and 20+ staff members
- Projects that take advantage of our camp’s landscape and rural setting
