Kemeri是欧洲的第三大绿色国家公园，这里有森林、湖泊、沼泽。Kemeri公园距离拉脱维亚首都里加仅有1小时的火车车程，公园内有各种各样的动物群，包括黑鹳等稀有鸟类，还有麋鹿、鹿、狐狸、狼、野牛和马。在世界野生动物基金会的帮助下，许多稀有动植物都被重新引入了这个独特的生态系统。

公园内道路系统相互交错，让游客可以亲近探索自然奇观。最受欢迎的小径是沼泽木板路，游客们可以近距离地感受沼泽生态系统，还可以充分感受充斥着青苔、小松树、深水池、湖泊的自然世界，从而迷失在野生迷迭香的气味中。

对于Kemeri国家公园风景塔比赛，参赛者的任务是设计一个观光塔，让游客能够有更好的观景体验。其主要目的是为游客提供独特的视野，在本次设计中，应当充分考虑无障碍设施，从而让残障人士也能够亲近大自然。

由于拉脱维亚自然保护局对观光塔的建设很感兴趣，所以设计方案既需要符合国家公园的身份特征，又要具有自己的标志性特点。

Submission: May 31, 2018
Registration: April 27, 2018
Language: English
Location: Kemeri Park, Latvia
Prizes: Please see details below
Type: Open

Third-largest national park in one of Europe’s greenest country, Kemeri is a stunning and eclectic mix of forests, lakes, swamps and ancient raised bogs. Situated just a 1-hour train ride from Latvia’s capital, Riga, the park is home to a wide range of fauna including rare birds like the black stork, as well as moose, deer, elk, foxes, wolves, and wild cattle and horses. These were all reintroduced into this unique ecosystem with some help from the World Wildlife Fund.
The park is criss-crossed with a large network of wooden boardwalks and nature paths that allow visitors to explore the natural wonders up close. The most popular trail being The Great Kemeri Bog Boardwalk. It offers visitors a chance to explore the bog and its inhabitants, taking them through the natural world of moss, small pine trees, deep pools, tiny dark lakes, all enveloped in the smell of wild rosemary.
For the Kemeri National Park Observation Tower competition, participants are tasked with designing a new tower that will allow visitors to view and experience the Kemeri Bog in a new way. Its main purpose should be to provide a new viewpoint to visitors, especially those with disabilities that are less able to enjoy the national park up close. As such the observation tower must have disabled access included throughout the entirety of its functioning.
As the Latvia Nature Conservation Agency has expressed an interest in the construction of this tower, designs will need to be both in keeping with the look and purpose of the national park, while having the potential to become an iconic landmark in its own right.

ELIGIBILITY
Competition is open to all. No professional qualification is required. Design proposals can be developed individually or by teams (4 team members maximum).

PRIZES
3 winning proposals, 2 special award recipients and 6 honourable mentions will be selected. Bee Breeders will award a total of US $6,000 in prize money to competition winners as follows:
1st Prize – US $3,000
2nd Prize – US $1,500
3rd Prize – US $500
+ 6 honourable mentions
Student Award – US $500
The Accessible Tower Award – US $500
