Civic pride
It may not be Wellingtonista Awards season just yet, but here's another chance to put in a plug for your favourite things in the Wellington built environment. The Wellington Civic Trust Awards are coming up, and the trust wants your nominations for the best recent contributions in the following fields:
- Building
- Heritage
- Environmental
- Public Space
- Street Art
Nnominations close on the 18th of August, and nominated projects must have been completed since the previous awards in 2005. There's also a separate voting form for best new sculpture, and if the sculpture that does it for you isn't on that list, you could always nominate it in the Street Art category.
As well as nominating your favourites, feel free to comment here and share your rants and raves.
Does anyone know why is Solace in the Wind is not on the sculpture voting list???
I'm not impressed with the quality of some of the photos used to illustrate the sculpture award. There are too many underexposed, shadowy semi-silhouettes, and the photos are restricted to those tiny thumbnails.
I put in my vote for Solace.
On a related note... I've got this urge to have my photo taken with this statue, late at night, completely starkers. Surely I'm not the only one?
Yay, I'm glad they put Solace up. But I've already voted for something else. Hmmmm. What to do?
I am SO loving the dots around Newtown. I must remember to take photos of them sometime soon.
