Are you passionate about making Connecticut cleaner, greener and healthier? Do you have a passion for design, urban planning, and/or environmentalism? Then this competition is for you!
The City of Hartford’s 2018 DREAM GREEN: Design Solutions for Hartford Competition is looking for applications! The competition is looking for applications for "pop-up" projects that beautifully transform underused spaces. Winning applications will submit pop-up designs that address climate change and neighborhood flooding, while temporarily shaping the fabric Hartford through trees, plants, green tech, art, and a dash of ingenuity.
One lucky individual or team (yes, we accept group applications!) will win $1,000 and have their idea built within the City's project budget of $2500!
Please note: No design skills required - just passion and practicality!
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
Anyone can apply! Feel free to apply as an individual or form a team to tackle this challenge.
APPLICATION DEADLINE
Applicants must submit their project online by September 29, 2018. Finalists will be invited to pitch their ideas in October 2018.
