iStart2 is an initiative that strives to provide a platform where people can take hands across boundaries and connect to create practical solutions for a sustainable future.
It's about getting involved, creating awareness and inspiring people to change their perceptions about the way we live. Wouldn't it be great to be given the opportunity to paint a new picture of what the world we live in can look like?

COUNTRY-WIDE ART COMPETITION
With this in mind iStart2 is launching an exciting national art competition open to all South Africans aged 16 – 35. The competition will accept entries in seven categories of art including music, creative writing, dance, fine arts, applied arts and design, acting and multi media.
SEVEN SUSTAINABILITY CONCEPTS
Artists are invited to express their ideas of how we can bring across the message of sustainability. The key sustainability concepts that artists are encouraged to highlight are:
• Water
• Waste
• Energy
• Health & safety
• People with Disabilities
• The Elderly
• Indigenous peoples
Finals in the competition will be held in 27 cities/towns throughout South Africa in 2014 with an event showcasing the winners.
SHOWCASE TV SERIES PLANNED
But that’s just the beginning – there’s more excitement in store! The winning entrants are headed for even greater things. A 26-episode television series is planned to showcase our young artists, enabling the public to share in every moment of their inspiring journey.
