Client

The Awesome Foundation is an international initiative in which 20 so-called trustees each contribute €50, creating a budget of €1,000 for a new project in a city.

Awesome Rotterdam takes place four to five times a year, during which Rotterdammers can pitch ideas to make the city a little more fun or better with that €1,000. The winner of the pitch may use this budget for his or her project.

Background

Around the pitches, there was a lot of attention for the initiatives that were submitted. The ideas were pitched during a physical event and broadcast via livestream. But what happened to the winning projects? Awesome Rotterdam decided to have a series of podcasts made and discuss the follow-up to the projects in them.

In the Awesome Rotterdam Podcast, we spoke with winners, trustees and partners of the initiative and asked former winners what became of their idea.
