The interesting thing about this competition is the principle of citizen participation, because 4,937 people were able to choose their favorite project in a public online voting. This form of co -determination shows that digital solutions are estimated not only by experts, but also by the citizens and suggests that the participation in digitization processes is becoming increasingly important.
