2013-03-30

VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA, March 30, 2013 (Press-News.org) Gravit-e Technologies Inc. has completed work for the City of Vancouver's Ironclad Art Manhole Cover Design Challenge website. First held in 2004, the Ironclad Art contest encourages local artists to submit their design for both sanitary and storm sewer manhole covers.

"It has been a pleasure to once again work with the City of Vancouver and to be able to provide them with tools to help engage the public. Gravit-e's design competition platform is a turnkey solution which made it possible to develop and launch the Ironclad website in a matter of days, while still being able to provide custom functionality such as bulk submission tools for teachers submitting their students' artwork," stated Nick Oostveen, president of Gravit-e.

In September, 2011, Gravit-e first started working with the City of Vancouver in order to create the website for the re:CONNECT competition, a contest which provided designers an opportunity to submit their ideas for the future of the Vancouver viaducts and the city's eastern core. Since then, Gravit-e has worked on five other web projects for the City of Vancouver, including the re:THINK contest website, a city initiative that allowed participants to submit their proposals on how to create sustainable and low-cost housing for the city; and in May, 2012, the What do You Picture competition, a photography contest which gave participants the chance to submit their photographs of different areas of the city.

All of these projects, including the Ironclad Art site, were based on Gravit-e's design competition software platform, which provides tools to manage the entire competition process from registration and submission through to showcasing winners. This platform is one of Gravit-e's standard offerings, and various organizations in Canada and the United States have used it to facilitate similar competitions.

Gravit-e develops and hosts custom business software and web applications for small, rapidly growing companies. Gravit-e specializes in the development of custom web applications for niche industries, companies that are striving to be industry leaders, and others for whom traditional off-the-shelf software is inadequate.
