The NoMa Parks Foundation announced the nearly 50 semi-finalists, representing 14 countries, selected to compete for the chance to transform the neighborhood’s underpasses.

The goal is to take the four underpasses that connect the east and west sides of NoMa and turn them into public art spaces. Finalists will be selected this summer, and installation is scheduled to begin in 2015.

While there are many well-known international and national firms and artists in the running, we’re going to focus on the past work from local ones. You can see the full list here.

Artist Michael Enn Sirvet, who is working with ASC Design Group, was behind Farragut Spheres, which was displayed at the Farragut West station in 2012.

Craig Kraft, a light sculptor who runs neon workshops, is behind Random Neons for Anacostia.

Marshall Moya Design may be best known for a project that doesn’t exist yet and won’t in its original form: The Chuck Brown Memorial Park. The amphitheater design below won’t actually exist, but it’s still pretty cool.
