Award for civic ideas
Civic Dialogue Bengaluru, an initiative of some residents’ welfare associations and NGOs working to make a better City, has instituted an award for the best reporter among citizens giving ‘best strategic advises’ on civic issues.
It is expected that this will trigger a good response for a competition every month under the title ‘Civic Dialogue Challenge’. The competition, open to all citizens of Bangalore, starts from next month.
Every month, the initiative will select the ‘Most Active Civic Reporter’ and the ‘Best City Strategist (Student and Professional)’. The monthly winners will get attractive prizes including holiday vouchers and a brand new Windows 7 Operating System from Microsoft.
Every quarter, the group will organise a meet to showcase the winners as well as a number of other change drivers who are working towards making Bangalore a better place to live.
The group will also announce the ‘Civic Leader Institution Award’ to acknowledge the most active institution.
More information on the competition can be had from www.theurbanvision.com/cd.
