Philips Liveable Cities Award

Philips is looking to award individuals, community or non-governmental organisations and businesses with ideas for ‘simple solutions’ that will improve people’s health and well-being in a city.

There are three award categories:

• Well-being Outdoors:
Initiatives that will help make people feel safe and secure in public spaces, or help create city identity and foster a sense of belonging.

• Independent Living:
Initiatives that will help the growing number of elderly people living alone to feel secure and comfortable in a city, and/or enable them to live longer at home with the appropriate access to healthcare.

• Healthy Lifestyle at Work and Home:
Initiatives that will support a healthy body and mind, whether through a person’s surroundings or other essentials such as exercise, sleep and diet.

One overall winning idea from any of the three categories will receive a grant of €75,000, while two additional ideas will receive grants of €25,000.

The competition closes on 28th October 2010.
