The competition is about making proposals for a 3.000 m2 nature-based geology and experience center, situated in the magnificent environment at the Store Klint of Mans Klint.

Every year about 250.000 visitors visit the 130-metre-high chalk cliffs by the Baltic Sea at the eastside of Man. Here, during the next 3-4 years, it is the intention to create a center to support and supplement the visitor's spontaneus experience of the majestic nature of the Cliff.

The Center's mission is to:

• tell the story of the creation of Denmark
  

• increase the understanding of the overall relations of nature
  

• stengthen the visitor's own discovery of the landscape of Mans Kint
  

• protect nature by increasing the general understanding of nature

It is the intention that the winner of the competition will receive the subsequent commission.
