The competition is being organised by the Royal Institute of British Architects on behalf of Warwickshire County Council. The new bridge is part of a masterplan to regenerate the waterfront area. Teams have until 8 August to come up with design proposals that will complement the historic setting of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and the view of Holy Trinity Church.
