Your Street Challenge open for suggestions
The 'Your Street Challenge' is again calling for entries in its latest challenge - Your Street South Africa. With successful projects already on the streets of Cape Town, Johannesburg and Eindhoven, the competition once again asks South Africans to look at the streets they live, work and play on. Anyone can submit ideas and become a catalyst for change in any corner of the country.
"Quite simply Your Street is about enhancing what is right in front of you: your street," says Ravi Naidoo, founder of Design Indaba. "It's about walking the talk and reinvigorating your own community with the kind of creativity that improves lives - be it through encouraging people to change a bad habit, recycle more or cycle to work, or simply to make people smile, increasing the community's 'Gross Domestic Happiness'."
To date The Your Street Challenge has given away nearly R1 million in cash to urban upgrade projects and once again cash prizes will be on offer to make the best proposals come to life.
Entries close on 17 May 2013. For more, go to www.yourstreetchallenge.org.
