Last December, the city of New York announced a challenge for people to reinvent the old payphone. Now they’ve announced the six finalists of the Reinvent Payphones challenge, offering us a look at what the competing designers have been cooking up. These finalists will be a part of a public voting, with the winner earning the Popular Choice Award later this month. However, each of the finalists listed are also winners in their own categories.
