Kuala Lumpur, 5 August 2021 – To honour the best effort and practices related to placemaking in response to the pandemic, the organiser of Placemaker Awards ASEAN 2021 is introducing a new category for their awards to showcase the creativity and ingenuity of Local Governments, Private Organisations and NGOs.
Called Placemaking during the Pandemic, this category was created to showcase projects rolled out to help communities, make use of public space, and support local businesses, throughout the pandemic. This new category focuses on the impact that these projects had on communities and the good that these organisations set out to accomplish.
All submissions under this category will be shared with the public to help inspire others to take on this unique challenge of continuously making things better for the community, no matter how bleak the condition may be.
Placemaker Awards ASEAN 2021 is currently opened for submission until 21 September 2021. This award will be judged by an illustrious panel of local and international experts from the planning and placemaking industry, including Stipo, UN-Habitat, Bandung Creative City Forum (BCCF), Isocarp, PlacemakingX, Nihon University, and more.
Placemaker Awards ASEAN 2021 will have seven categories, with one overall winner who will be crowned Placemaker of the Year in recognition of outstanding effort for placemaking in ASEAN. All entrants will also be receiving feedback and suggestions on how they can improve their placemaking initiatives as well as have their projects compiled in an e-book which will be distributed to all participants and viewers of the awards.
