How to enter
Enter and win a $200 Westfield voucher
Follow the steps below and email your submission to theschoolyardidlike@gmail.com
Step 1: Research
Take a walk through your existing schoolyard and identify how it makes you feel. What are its defining qualities and features?
How do you currently use the space?
Step 2: Imagine
What types of outdoor spaces / activities bring you joy? What do they look like? What makes them memorable? How often do you go there, with who and why?
Step 3: Create
Transform your current schoolyard into a fantastic space. Snap a picture of your existing schoolground, then show how you would change it through an A3 poster. What would it look like? How would it be used? What makes it important? This can be a photo-essay, an architectural plan, a drawing – the medium is up to you!
Step 4: Reflect
Write up to 500 words describing your concept. Why is it meaningful? What inspired you? Who would it impact? How would the school community use the space? Help people understand more about your idea and why it's important.
