There are two categories for the Ideas Competition, namely the "Open" Category and the "Youth Challenge".
"OPEN" CATEGORY
The "Open" Category in the Ideas Competition seeks to identify ideas for future development of the Rail Corridor in response to 5 key issues:
These issues/challenges were distilled from the feedback and suggestions that we received from the public and are key considerations that would need to be addressed in planning for the Corridor. The public is invited to choose the issue/s or challenge/s that they would like to address and propose innovative solutions and ideas for these areas.
Each entry may be formulated in response to more than one issue. However, participants in the "Open" Category are required to indicate the predominant issue among the above 5 key issues that their submission intends to address.
In the event that participants intend to comprehensively address all 5 key issues in their proposals, they should indicate "Extraordinary & Innovative Ideas for a Great Public Space" as the predominant issue for their submission. However under this Category, besides addressing the 5 key issues, we would like to encourage participants to propose fresh new ideas that are innovative and even extraordinary (out-of-the-box) that will allow all to experience the Rail Corridor in surprisingly new and different ways. "Journey of Possibilities" presents the opportunity to create something fresh and innovative for The Rail Corridor that is uniquely Singapore’s, and differentiated from the other rail trails around the world.
NB: The evaluation of all submissions will be based on the categorization of the predominant issue stated by the participants. Submissions will be disqualified from consideration if the “predominant issue” is not indicated in the submission.
WHO MAY TAKE PART
Anyone can take part in the "Open" Category.
"YOUTH CHALLENGE" (For Secondary 1 – 5 only)
A youth-centric competition, targeted at secondary school students, will be conducted in parallel with the main “Open” Ideas Competition. We challenge secondary school students to come up with exciting new ideas and proposals that will surprise and excite us.
The ideas, concepts and proposals need not be limited to the "5 key issues". They could be wide-ranging reflecting the interests and aspirations of the younger generation, and how the Rail Corridor could be especially meaningful to them. The youth's views on how the Rail Corridor may support promotion of the family unit and meet the wider interests of society will be a welcome added dimension in response to this competition.
Join us on these first steps of the Journey, to dream up Possibilities that one day may be transformed into Reality.
WHO MAY TAKE PART
Only students from Secondary 1 – 5 may participate in "Youth Challenge", the youth segment of this competition.
