Denver Metro City Design Competition

Imagine your city a more enjoyable place to live and eat for people of all ages. The Denver Metro City Design Competition welcomes high school students to participate in the scholarship category. Younger students can compete with the high school students or participate in the fun category. The project this year is addressing a trend to eat more food grown locally by designing a farm-to-table restaurant. The design challenge is to integrate the growing of food on-site and make the restaurant inviting for families. People of all ages can sit down at a table to a delicious meal with freshly picked food. What type of food would your restaurant grow and serve?
