Open to everyone from qualified architects and designers through to students, the $10,000 Kenilworth Designer Dunny competition required contestants to design a public toilet building that would reflect the aspirations of the local community, deliver an iconic facility, and draw the attention of visitors.
Designer Dunny contest finalists:

The jury was chaired by Sunshine Coast architect John Mainwaring, and also included Sunshine Coast Councillor Greg Rogerson, Queensland Art Gallery senior curator Lynne Seear, sculptor Greg Johns and former Kenilworth Arts Council President Shirley Moreland.
After receiving community feedback on the shortlisted entries and final jury assessment, the winner will be announced in March 2016.
