The hotel from The Shining wants you to design its scary new hedge maze

You’ve probably heard of the Stanley Hotel. This century-old landmark in Estes Park, Colorado is the spooky spot that inspired Stephen King to write The Shining after he and his wife stayed there*. Now, you can design a giant hedge maze—inspired by the giant hedge maze in The Shining—on the Stanley Hotel grounds.

The Stanley Hotel Public Hedge Maze contest is now open for submissions. The goal is simple: Design a 61,500-square-foot hedge maze inspired by the hedge maze in Stanley Kubrick’s movie, and use 1,600 to 2,000 Aspen currant hedge bushes to do it. The hotel has provided a simple template (PDF) as well as a very simple example of what a maze design might look like.
