Panopticon n. Structure, space or device providing a comprehensive or panoramic view. 

Architects, landscape architects, engineers, professionals or students are invited to take part in this exciting new design competition.

The Panopticons will be located on six high-point sites across East Lancashire commanding stunning views. Their purpose is both aesthetic and functional – they may take the form of shelters, viewing platforms, beacons…. They will be high-profile attractions for local people and visitors.

Sites have been selected in Accrington, Blackburn and Wycoller. Competitors may choose to design for one or all of these sites and it is the intention of the promoter to build the winning designs.

The promoter is also running a parallel ‘Ideas’ competition seeking conceptual ideas for a Panopticon on a ‘Wildcard Site’. A long term objective of the project is to have at least six Panopticons in East Lancashire, so the winning concept may be developed in the future. Students may enter this aspect of the competition.

Promoter:
The project, which has been funded by the Northwest Development Agency (NWDA) and East Lancashire's Regional Park Programme, is being managed by the East Lancashire Environmental Arts Network (ELEAN), led by Mid Pennine Arts, a key arts development agency for East Lancashire. The project is also financially supported by the Arts Council: North West, Lancashire County Council and the local authorities of Blackburn with Darwen, Burnley, Hyndburn, Pendle, Ribble Valley and Rossendale.
