150x100x1 Challenge - 20 Days Left!

Update #5 · Dec 12, 2012 · comment

November 30th - December 31st, 2012

We have 20 days left to meet our goal of 150 new pages. We've been making steady progress, but we're a little behind our schedule. We need to add 6 projects a day to reach our goal.

We still have two hand printed posters to give away for the No Procrastination Award. If these interest you don't put off contributing for long!

Help Build OpenUrban! 150x100x1 Challenge

Update #4 · Dec 1, 2012 · comment

Between November 30th - December 31st, 2012  OpenUrban needs your help to fill out its content! So we’re asking friends and supporters to help us create 150 project pages of 100 words or more within 1 month – the 150x100x1 Challenge. You can create a page about any urban development of any size anywhere in the world. If you’re not sure where to start we recommend making a page about something in your city or community. For example is there a new transit station or apartment building planned for your neighborhood? And if you're creating pages in a new city recruit some friends to add pages with you!

100 words = 1 paragraph = 30 minutes

Did we mention prizes?!

  • No Procrastination Award(s) – the first 5 individuals to make pages after November 30th will each receive a limited edition hand printed poster.
  • Best Research Award – the best written and researched page, as judged by the site administrators, will receive an OpenUrban t-shirt and a packet of street stickers. This prize applies to new edits of existing pages as well
  • Most Prolific Award – the person with the most pages (100 words/page) will receive a t-shirt, stickers, a hand printed poster, and our eternal gratitude.
