The deadline for submissions is 31 July 2013.

Submissions can be made within any of the four themes for WDC 2014:

The second call for submissions opened on 1 July and is appealing to those interested in making submissions to think big, consider multi-disciplinary collaborations and demonstrate impact, while delivering feasible solutions in a tangible way.

While some of the shortlisted projects from the first call showed design-led thinking in providing solutions to social challenges in and around Cape Town, the curatorial panel identified gaps that they would like to cover in the second round.

Innovative and creative

The yearlong WDC 2014 programme consists of a dynamic mix of design projects, activities, exhibitions and events that will bring to the public eye the range of innovative and creative services, processes, products and objects that have been developed to transform lives. The project submissions are one aspect of the 2014 programme.

"WDC 2014 is not simply an event, but an invitation for change that will bring collaborators together in ways that create new conversations, new connections and new possibilities, that will last long after 2014," said Cape Town Design CEO, Alayne Reesberg.

Engagement and information sessions for the public, including access to the internet, will take place at various city libraries over the next two weeks.
