Imagining the city of the future

What will cities of the future look like?

You may - or may not - find the answer in a slew of short videos submitted to this year's "Videotect" competition.

The event challenges creative types to express design ideas through video. This year's theme: City of the Future.

This year's submissions are in and up on the website; the public can vote for their favorites through February 15. Awards for the winners, both juried and by popular vote, will be handed out on March 7.

Here's just a sampling:

• After five years, State of the Arts comes to a close
• Park Square’s second stage to open Friday
• Most critics find ‘Romeo and Juliet’ a dreamy delight
