City wide competition Do you have a good idea for Bonn?
Bonn · A 25,000 Euro funding prize will be given to a person or group who comes up with the best idea for a project to enrich life in Bonn.
Bürgerstiftung Bonn is a community foundation made up of many residents whose goal it is to enrich life in Bonn. The foundation was started in 2001 with a donation from the Sparkasse Cologne/Bonn to encourage civic engagement.
The Bürgerstiftung is looking for creative projects that will enhance life in Bonn. Applicants can submit their ideas until March 31. Winners receive a 25,000 Euro prize to fund their conceived project. The total financing of the project must be guaranteed with up to 10,000 Euro.
Submissions will be judged based on how innovative the project is and how it contributes to the social fabric in Bonn. It should also be a project which relies heavily on volunteer work. Projects outside of Bonn or running overhead administration costs will not be supported.
The contest is run in the German language, but there are certainly opportunities for the international community to work together with German friends/speakers to submit projects. All good ideas are welcome.
