Collective Manouvers, Bristol Summer Games, Urban Olympics 2003.
3 to 5 October 2003, Bristol, United Kingdom.

We invite cultural collective teams to present challenges and compete
against each other for rewards.

Collective Manouvers explores and celebrates universal urban architecture
and furniture.

Challenges issued by teams should utilise existing urban structures eg
trees, walls, skips, lamposts.

We envisage challenges such as fence climbing, rail balances, tunneling,
river crossing and urban cross country.

We thought rewards and prizes could be items produced by the groups
themselves such as books, kits, medals and equipment, but who knows.

Teams presenting challenges are encouraged to arrive and survey Bristol no
later than Thursday 2 October.

Challenges must not be dependent on equipment or technology and should be
achievable by technique alone, but all technological equipment will be
permitted in actual competition.

Challenges should be issued from Monday 29 September closing on evening of
Friday 1 October.

Teams should be self assembling of one or more members and can be
constitutionally dynamic throughout the games.

Teams will not be penalised for collaborating.

All teams should take part in the selecting a winner for each challenge.

The challenging team will should present the prize(s) for the winning
team(s).
