We’ve exten­ded our call-out to allow more people to show us their cit­ies and to join the dis­cus­sion about build­ing more cre­at­ive, inclus­ive, sus­tain­able cit­ies in East Asia.

Con­tri­bu­tions, com­ments and sub­mis­sions to our call-outs all make you eli­gible to win a trip to the UK to exper­i­ence the 2010 Lon­don Fest­ival of Architecture.

Three ways to enter: 1) Show us your city in a blog post, photo set, video or map. 2) Sub­mit a story and become a con­trib­utor to the site. 3) Share your thoughts on posts that interest you and become a reg­u­lar commentor.

How do I enter?

There are sev­eral ways you can enter this competition:

1. Show us your city: take us on a jour­ney through the streets of your neigh­bour­hood, tell us what inspires you, what frus­trates you, and what you makes your part of the world unique. This can take the form of a blog post, photo set, video, annot­ated map or you may sub­mit an exist­ing pro­ject which tells the story of your cre­at­ive city. See our ori­ginal post on this com­pet­i­tion for more examples and ideas for your entry.

2. Con­trib­ute a story: share your opin­ions and exper­i­ences in a 500+ word blog post that relates to cre­at­ive cit­ies in our region. Email us with your post idea to develop your story.

3. Be an out­stand­ing com­menter: add your thoughts to our posts on a reg­u­lar basis, help us see the issues from your per­spect­ive, tell us about your exper­i­ences and sug­gest ideas and stor­ies for your fel­low read­ers to explore.

How will a win­ner be selected?

A panel of Cre­at­ive Cit­ies East Asia con­trib­ut­ors and spe­cial guests with expert­ise in this field will be invited to view a short­l­ist of final­ists in late March. This panel will be asked to decide which of the com­ments, con­tri­bu­tions or sub­mis­sions have stim­u­lated the most dis­cus­sion and thought and which have spread the ideas of cre­at­ive city-making in our region. This panel will determ­ine the win­ning entry.
