FixPhillyDistricts.com: local redistricting contest kicks off with cash prizes

The FixPhillyDistricts.com local legislative redistricting awareness campaign and contest Technically Philly wrote about earlier this month has launched in earnest.

Visit the website to submit your vision of how Philadelphia legislative boundaries should look and be in the running to have your idea presented to City Council, in addition to a cool $1,000.

The project is using GIS shop Azavea’s DistrictBuilder tool based on its Cicero API. The project is in partnership with WHYY, which hosted a rousing kickoff event, and the Philadelphia Daily News.
