Piazza Art Project Entry

Hey Kids,

Welcome to the Piazza Art Project, hosted by Eastgate Shopping Centre and Art Afrique.

Did you know that Eastgate is one of the oldest and biggest shopping centres in South Africa? We celebrated our 40th birthday in 2019.

So iconic, Eastgate Shopping Centre is also a Johannesburg landmark, loved and visited by many, who come from all over the city and province. As you can imagine, there are many other landmarks along the way, depending on where you come from. If you’re not sure what is a landmark, here’s a simple explanation: a landmark is a building or place that is easily recognised, and helps you know where you are. Examples of Johannesburg landmarks include Jukskei River, O.R Tambo International Airport, the Apartheid Museum, Johannesburg Zoo, and there are many more, so when writing, please pick the ones that you know and like the most.

We are so excited that you have chosen to enter our competition, and look forward to reading your short story or poem when it’s done. To help get you started, and offer some inspiration and tips, please read below:
