CLEVELAND, February 1, 2006 The Ingenuity Festival of Art and Technology has announced the release of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the redesign and upgrading of it's web site, http://www.IngenuityCleveland.com.

With it's cool robot, a slick map of the Festival Village, and one-stop shopping for events and tickets, the current Ingenuity web site has served the Festival well for its inaugural year and 2005 Festival. But now it is time to revamp and upgrade this formidable repository for the hundreds of special events to be presented at the upcoming 2006 Ingenuity Festival.

The upgraded Ingenuity web site will make it easier for patrons of Ingenuity to find and manipulate event and schedule data.

Details and requirements for this upgrade project are outlined in the Request for Proposals.

The Request for Proposals is available on the front page of the Ingenuity web site at http://www.IngenuityCleveland.com. Professional web development firms are invited to review the RFP and submit a proposal by February 15, 2006. The web site upgrade project should be completed by April 15, 2006. Preference will be given to firms located in Northeast Ohio.
