Today the Metropolitan Planning Council launched its Placemaking Chicago “What makes your place great? contest and website.
Placemaking Chicago is an initiative meant to get communities involved in the planning of public spaces.
Its “What makes your place great?” contest is a way for you to speak up about your favorite public spaces in Chicago and Chicago suburbs. You can email original photos or videos of your favorite public spaces to placemakingchicago@metroplanning.org along with a 250-word or less description.
The contest is open June 3 through July 27. Four winners will be announced on Sept. 25.
Prizes include Art Institute passes, architecture tour tickets, and gift certificates to some of Chicago’s yummiest restaurants.
Check out contest rules and guidelines for details.
