Three $100 vouchers to give away
Get your witticisms on and your creative juices flowing and show us your best memes about the City of Adelaide’s elected member decision to run a “Drivers Month” encouraging people to drive to the city.
When 36% of city users (the % that come by car) are given 85% of road space at the expense of everyone else, when cars are given priority on all 17 major roads in the city and most lane ways, and then Drivers Month is announced to provide them with more support, it is hard to know where to go with that.
We decided on humour, because sometimes a laugh can help, and we all need to stay sane right now. Please, join us. Make something great that we can share on social media to help shed light on the concept of Drivers Month.

The prizes
We will pick three winners based on awesomeness. The winners can pick any City of Adelaide business they would like to frequent and we will buy them a $100 voucher.

- Appropriate promotional street-side material
- Incentives to park and drive in the CBD in Adelaide
- Requesting the State Government implement a uniform 60kmp/h speed limit on all Park Lands roads
- Any other measures which will directly improve ease of access for drivers within the city
- Marketing and publicity measures appropriate to the above.
