RUSHMORI CAPITAL OF CULTURE GUIDELINES
As an effort to establish greater cultural understanding within its constituent nations, to increase mutual awareness and community spirit, it is proposed that a Rushmori Capital of Culture be established.
If managed effectively by the bidding city, being Rushmori Capital of Culture has the potential to bring long-term cultural, social and economic benefits to the host city and nation. Even those cities that aren’t selected can benefit; careful preparation of the application can increase local awareness and give a boost to the city’s cultural life.
SELECTION PROCEDURE
Voting shall take place for Rushmori Capital of Culture every two months; a bidding period of one week will take place where participating nations may nominate and write about one (1) city within their country describing its cultural heritage, impact within and outside of its borders and generally things that make it an awesome place to be that others should flock to. At the end of this week, the President of the Rushmori Capital of Culture shall collect votes for five days. At the end of the voting period, the city with the most votes shall host the Rushmori Capital of Culture. In the event of a tie, voting will be reopened between the tied bids, and the President of the Rushmori Capital of Culture shall collect votes for a further five days. In the event that no bids are received, the title of Rushmori Capital of Culture shall stay with the incumbent however will not be recorded as an additional term of tenure.
BID REQUIREMENTS
In order to guide cities on how to present their application for nomination as Rushmori Capital of Culture, bidding cities are recommended to address the questions below as part of their application. The answers may be accompanied by additional information to support and provide further detail about the bid. The bid may include a logo, however bid logos are not required (but are helpful due to creativity). The bid may be presented in non-english languages but must be accompanied by an english language version.Additionally, bids could address such questions as “If the city in question is awarded the title of Rushmori Capital of Culture, what would be the medium- and long-term effects of the event from a social, cultural and urban point of view?” and/or, “How does the event fit into the long-term cultural development of the city and, where appropriate, of the greater Rushmori region?” and/or, “Does the city intend to develop particular cultural projects in the coming years, irrespective of the outcome of its application for the title of Rushmori Capital of Culture?”.
- Why does the city which you represent wish to take part in the competition for the title of Rushmori Capital of Culture?
- Explain the concept of the programme which would be launched if the city was nominated Rushmori Capital of Culture?
- Could this programme be summed up by a slogan or theme?
- In what way does the bid represent something new and innovative?
- Will there be an event/artistic director? What is his/her profile? What will be his/her field of action?
- Will there be sponsors involved in the event?
- What are the city's assets in terms of accessibility (regional, national and international transport)?
- What is the city's absorption capacity in terms of tourist accommodation?
These questions are NOT mandatory but are recommended and should at least give cities interested in bidding a starting point from which to work from.
