The thoroughfare was built in 1909 as the Champs-ElysDees of the Bronx - a tree-lined promenade surrounded by majestic buildings.
Tumultuous times left the roadway that weaves from 138th Street north to Van Cortlandt Park at Mosholu Parkway in a state of deteriorating grandeur.
Yet the much-loved boulevard has remained a focal point of commerce and culture.
Winning entries in the Bronx Museum competition will appear in the "Intersections: Grand Concourse at 100 - Future" exhibition, set to open in November.
The competition opens Monday.
