Radical Innovation – an initiative that challenges designers to pioneer new concepts in travel and hospitality – has announced a new Special Edition Parc Omega design competition that is currently accepting design submissions.

The competition intends to provide architectural professionals and students from any country or region of the world, working individually or in teams, with a platform to conceptualise a 120-key hospitality design concept on the site of the Parc Omega, in Quebec, Canada.

Through a blind judging process, a panel of jurors leading the fields of hospitality, design, and investment evaluate all entries based on their originality, creativity, design, feasibility, viability, impact, and complimentary use of the allotted property, focusing on the priorities of best architectural design, best land use plan and the best sustainability plan.

Submission for both professionals and students is complimentary. The competition will consist of one round and two prizes will be awarded: the grand prize winner will take home CAD$ 10,000, while the runner-up will receive CAD$5,000. Parc Omega intends to engage the winner in the evolution of the project, should it move forward and an appropriate agreement can be reached.

“Radical Innovation discovers and spotlights creative thinkers from around the world with ideas to propel the hospitality industry forward.” explains John Hardy, Founder of Radical Innovation and CEO of The Hardy Group. “We are thrilled to add this new design competition to the Radical Family, partnering with the prestigious Parc Omega Wildlife Park and the Ruggieri family.”

“Parc Omega’s mission is to raise awareness about wildlife and local culture, by creating a memorable experience.” says Claire Ruggieri, Batipart’s, the Parc’s Owner, representative. “We wish to change the way we design, build and maintain this cherished treasure. Radical Innovation seemed to be the perfect partner to ensure at the same time the quality of competitors as well as out of the box ideas to make Parc Omega a unique destination while respecting its core values.”

Radical Innovation is produced by The Hardy Group with support from sponsor Parc Omega.
