City plans exciting 30 by 30 challenge for anniversary

During a recent government meeting, members of the commission discussed plans for the city's upcoming 30th anniversary celebration in 2025. A key proposal is the \"30 by 30 challenge,\" which aims to encourage residents to engage with 30 designated activities or locations throughout the year. Participants who complete the challenge will receive recognition during the anniversary festivities.

Central to the celebration is the development of a special logo to commemorate this milestone. The commission highlighted the success of a similar initiative during the city's 25th anniversary, where a nationwide website was used to solicit creative submissions for the logo. This approach garnered a significant number of entries, leading to the selection of a well-received design.

The planning and Parks committee of the city council has endorsed the idea of creating a new logo promptly, with hopes of launching the 30 by 30 challenge during the 2024 event as a precursor to the anniversary. In the event of time constraints, there is a consensus among council members to consider updating the existing 25th-anniversary logo, which remains popular.

Additionally, the commission plans to host a local competition for the logo design, inviting Wildwood's creative community to participate. The competition will be promoted through social media and newsletters, outlining the parameters for submissions and encouraging artists to reflect the city's key characteristics in their designs.
