SHINING HOTEL TO GET SPOOKY HEDGE MAZE For decades, fans of Stephen Kings The Shining have made a pilgrimage to Estes Park to visit the Stanley Hotell, the famous inspiration for the Overlook Hotel. Stanley embraces its pop-culture connection with hauntings and creepiness, one manifestation, the hedge maze, has never existed. Thanks to their success with the horror-themed Stanley Film Festival, the hedge maze is about to come to life. The hotel is holding an international contest to design a brand-new, 61,500-square-foot maze that will sit on the front lawn of the hotel. The maze will celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the current ownership, which took over in May 1994. I am thrilled to share this special moment in my life and the hotels history, says John Cullen, owner of the famed property. We have built this place together over the years, and Im excited to invite everyone to be a part of its legacy through this special design contest. The winner of the contest will have a placard placed in the maze to commemorate their vision. Deadline for submissions is midnight on January 31, 2015; full spec requirements and all of the rules can be found at stanleyhotel. blogs.westword/showandtell/2015/01/stanley_hotel_kicks_off_2015_with_a_hedge_maze_designed_by_you.php
