For the second round of "Pimp My City", the participatory project to beautify the city center, several imaginative and impressive designs have been submitted to the city administration. The aim this time is to bring the dreary concrete surface above the ice cream parlor at the end of Idar's pedestrian zone to life with art - and thus declare war on an unsightly graffiti hotspot.
"We are delighted with the quality and diversity of the submissions," says the business development agency. "There are so many creative minds in Idar-Oberstein who want to help shape their city. The selection was really not easy for us - we would love to realize all the designs!"
Now it's up to the community:
Some particularly successful designs have made it to the final selection - and the citizens will decide which one will be implemented! Voting is now taking place via the city's social media channels on Facebook and Instagram. The designs can also be viewed on the city's homepage at www.idar-oberstein.de/pressemitteilungen. If you don't want to vote via the social media channels, you can also do so by emailing wirtschaftsfoerderung@idar-oberstein.de. The designs can also be viewed in printed form in a display case in the city administration's citizens' office - it's well worth a visit!
The winning design will receive an expense allowance of 2,500 euros and the unique opportunity to leave a lasting mark in the heart of our city by implementing the design.
The "Pimp My City" project is funded as part of the federal program "Sustainable inner cities and centers" and is intended not only to bring color to the walls, but also new impetus to the city. So join in, help decide - and make Idar a bit more colorful together! The future of our city center is also in the hands of its citizens.
