World Leisure Innovation prize opens for applications
By Tom Walker
World Leisure is calling for applications for its innovation prize.
The award seeks to recognize organizations that have implemented creative solutions that foster local, national, or international leisure opportunities for the benefit and development of individuals and communities.
All applications must be received by 1 April 2008 at 1200 GMT and the prize will be presented to the winners at the World Leisure Congress to be held in Quebec City, Canada in October 2008.
Applications will be evaluated on innovation, the description of the objectives of the project and clear evidence that the project has been successful.
The award panel will also consider the community involvement aspect of the projects as well as their sustainability.
The prize was first presented in 2006 and past winners include the City of Christchurch, New Zealand for the “Southern Centre Multi Sensory Facility” and the Emmanuel Foundation in Calgary, Canada for its “Playgrounds in Contexts of Extreme Need” programme.
