We are looking for the most beautiful sidewalk in Parys. The competition is open to everyone – whether you live in a mansion or shack – this is about the most beautiful sidewalk in Parys. You may also nominate a beautiful sidewalk or a municipal area that a resident maintains and beautifies. You may want to nominate your neighbour’s sidewalk or business premises.

What defines a “Beautiful Sidewalk?
A sidewalk/pavement area is any area on the outside of your fence, be it a residential property fence or a business property fence, whether in the CBD of a town, residential area or informal settlements/townships that forms part of a town’s jurisdiction.
What makes a sidewalk beautiful?
* A clean, well-maintained area, whether the sidewalk is covered with grass, paving, sand or crushed stone – it has to be clean
* Simplicity – even the plainest-looking clean sidewalk attracts the eye.
* Clean, weed-free water canals (very applicable in Parys)
* Healthy-looking focal plants or something as simple as wildflowers (definitely not required to participate in this competition). So, come on – why not enter your sidewalk and stand a chance to win these fantastic prizes.
Here are the entries received so far. You are welcome to comment and tell us which sidewalk is your favourite. If you still want to enter – remember the competition closes on Monday 21 March.
