		<description><![CDATA[Did you know that 60% food relief during lockdown came from civil society? Far outweighing any government interventions, it points to the power of the people to help solve the food security challenges in our country. This revealing insight surfaced during the recent #cocreateDESIGN FESTIVAL 2021, which was organised by Craft and Design Institute (CDI) in collaboration with the Mission Network of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in South Africa. The Festival also saw the launch of the RE:SOLVE Challenge, an eight-month support programme for entrepreneurs with a share of R100 000 grant funding available for selected local innovations. The Challenge is now open for entries and aims to help entrepreneurs develop new, or refine existing, products and services to solve some of SA’s pressing challenges, including food security. World Food Day on 16 October, which is themed &#8220;Our actions are our future &#8211; Better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life”, is an opportunity to place our food system into sharp focus and highlight the need for home-grown innovations to address systemic challenges. It is a system that is broken for millions of South Africans who struggle to access, on a daily basis, affordable, nutritious, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Art and design competitions are legitimised as much by the entry talent they attract as by the calibre of the judges weighing in on the winners. The annual PPC Imaginarium Awards, now in its 5 th year, boasts both a plethora of young creatives competing for the country’s most supportive art and design prize and a truly stellar judging panel. The panel comprises industry leaders drawn from across the various entry categories, namely, Fashion, Film, Architecture, Industrial Design, Sculpture and Jewellery. Last year, the PPC Imaginarium Awards judges were tasked with evaluating over 300 completed submissions. For 2019 the formidable task of judging the flood of entries falls to an illustrious panel comprising high-profile personalities, who evaluate submissions at a regional and then national level. The six regional judges who, together with competition director Daniel van der Merwe, will select this year’s finalists, are: Pierre Lombard (Johannesburg), Mary Sibande (Johannesburg), Jay Pather (Cape Town), Jessica Staple (Port Elizabeth), Avitha Sooful (Pretoria), Themba Shibase (KZN), Sisanda Henna (Johannesburg) and Adelheid von Maltitz (Bloemfontein). The judges will be looking for entries that express innovation through the medium of concrete.
