You know that problem. The one that drives you crazy. The one that always ends with the sentence or thought “why don’t they fix that?”
Well now you can be the they and the fixer. And present your solutions in a public place with some serious support behind you.
This is your chance! Want to see more public art? Want to pitch solar-powered driverless cabs? Want a garden every 10 blocks? Here, let me hand you that megaphone, people are looking your way.

Here’s what you need to know. GOOD Ideas for Cities is teaming up with Portland State University’s Graphic Design Department and offering something that would be dumb to not consider.
So consider this:

This is a call for creatives.

GOOD is looking for Portland-based designers, artists, architects, thinkers, makers, urban planners, writers, teachers, gardeners, entrepreneurs and more to tackle an urban challenge relevant to the Portland community.
The success of this project relies on interaction, contact and collaboration across disciplines, and so designers as well as non-designers are encouraged to apply.
Stop reading and look at the application, because this deadline is in about 5 minutes.
December 14 folks!

Teams as well as individuals are encouraged to apply; the process is collaborative and individuals who apply may be paired with others. Teams will be linked up with local civic leaders in early January and presented a challenge based on their indicated interests.
