You may have heard that we have a special contest for ideas! That rumor is fact! And, there is a $50 gift certificate to a local restaurant waiting to go to the Idea that generates the most comments, likes, and shares (Facebook, Twitter). For this inaugural contest, any idea posted qualifies, including those that have been up since our kickoff. The contest runs until February 20th.
Posting an idea is easy. If you haven’t already, sign up. Then, log in and write out your pitch. Note that we have some rules and terms that apply to content (like being positive, constructive, etc.); and, we will remove anything that we deem doesn’t meet these conditions. This is an effort to build community.
Your idea also needs to get categorized. That helps people find it in the future and points it out to others who have a particular area of interest or focus. Pick the category you think it fits into best – Transportation (the scooter icon), Education (lightbulb), Economic Opportunity (the graph), Arts & Culture (trumpet), or Neighborhoods, Parks, & Housing (bird on a branch). Without this click, the post can’t go up.
Finally, take a little initiative and promote your idea to your friends and family using email and social media. We’ve tried to think of everything to make it easier, including giving you links to Facebook and Twitter.
So use your imagination and dream of something for the future of Charleston that would make you smile.
