What is useful in your project description?

Organisers do not do any judging based off your project description; this is only used for us to share your story so other people can understand what you are doing within your community. We will use this on our website and for printed media at the event. A few ideas for your description are:

  • How and why did the initiative start?
  • Who managed the project?
  • What challenges were faced and overcome?
  • Was there any collaboration between different groups?
  • Was there any community engagement in the project?
  • What was the overall outcome?
  • Is there ongoing commitment to maintain or expand the initiative?
