幼児のための様々な環境づくりに取り組むオランダのNGOが主催する実施コンペ。幼児の平均的な身長、95cmまでの環境を、より良くするためのアイディアに出資する。出資額は上限300万円、1年以内に完成できるプロジェクトであること。

Description
The Urban95 Challenge is open to creative ideas and projects which promote the wellbeing of young children in cities from the prenatal period up to the age of five.
We are looking for projects in three areas:
- Influence: projects that find innovative ways to get city officials and community leaders to think more deeply and creatively about the needs of children under five and their parents;
- Design innovations: projects that make changes in a city’s built environment and, as a result, have a positive impact on children under five and their parents;
- Performance monitoring: projects that collect data or use existing data to monitor how the city is performing from a young child’s point of view.
We are looking to fund projects that take a practical approach and show concrete results. With that in mind, please note the following guidance:
- Projects need to benefit pregnant women and/or children under five and their parents;
- Quick-impact, short-term projects are preferred – we accept proposals for a maximum of one year;
-We strongly encourage applications for amounts ranging between USD 5,000 and 10,000. A proposal’s budget should not exceed USD 30,000;
- We strongly encourage proposals for projects implemented by local residents of cities;
- We strongly encourage the participation of parents and children in the design of projects.
