Redcar is a seaside town in north-east England.  The competition offers a rare opportunity to shape the future form of approximately 1.5kms of sea frontage at a UK coastal resort. The anonymous first stage seeks design ideas and approaches for the public realm aspects of the sea wall scheme, as well as a coherent set of associated proposals for the public highway, building facades and sites in the seafront's immediate 'backdrop zone'.

Up to five schemes will be short-listed to go through to the second stage of the competition, when anonymity will be lifted and the authors invited to present their design proposals to the Jury Panel at a final interview.

Each short-listed competitor will receive an honorarium payment of £4,000 plus VAT, with the winner receiving an additional payment of £4,000 + VAT.
