School children grades K-12 from Contra Costa and Alameda counties are invited to participate in a competition to inspire the design of three "medallions" which will be displayed on the outside of the fourth bore of the Caldecott tunnel. The theme of the design is "Art Deco Revisited" which was selected by Bay Area residents via an online survey and will serve as a tribute to the original Caldecott medallions, designed by the late Henry H. Meyers, a prominent local architect. Students are encouraged to exercise their creative imaginations around the Art Deco theme, which is characterized by simple and bold geometric shapes, clean lines and often features abstract symbols, and to explore ways that the past and present styles come together.
