Flemish Cities use Consumer Generated Content campaign

I haven't told this before on i-wisdom, but I co-authored a book that is entitled "From city council website towards digital city" and it's going to be released (in Dutch) on June 14th. It's based on a research project I  finished a year ago, when I was working at Memori. When I look back at it, it's basically all about the web2.0 framework applied to living in a local community. The book is all about how social networking tools can enhance the quality of life, the sustainability and the social capital of local communities. I'll be blogging more about it once the book is about to be released...

Anyway, I was going to blog about something else. Our Flemish Government has launched a campaign in which people are asked to take pictures of their city. The campaign is called "The city has awoken" and people have to take pictures in which this awoken aspect of the city is visualized. The best pictures are going to be published in Belgian newspaper and the one who took the best picture wins a workshop with one of Belgians most know photographers. Pietel, something for you? ;-)
