Entering September when the spotlight is on all things proudly local, South Africa\u2019s favourite online retailer takealot.com has launched its first-ever Heritage Day Design Challenge, giving South Africans the chance to showcase their creativity inspired by our diverse cultures and rich heritage.<\/p>\n

Launching on 12 September 2022, the Takealot Heritage Day Design Challenge calls on South Africans to take a moment, reflect, and visually re-imagine the Takealot box, inspired by their culture and colourful heritage.<\/p>\n

Participants are tasked to redesign the Takealot box using the South African flag colours, drawing from their heritage for inspiration.<\/p>\n

Entries need to be submitted by 25 September via WhatsApp with multiple language options available, like isiXhosa, isiZulu, English, Afrikaans and Sotho.<\/p>\n

The winning design will be chosen by a diverse group of judges and unveiled on Takealot\u2019s social media pages – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok – at the end of the month.<\/p>\n

The competition judging panel comprises five proud South Africans, each with their own unique heritage, including 2019 Miss Universe winner Zozibini Tunzi, beloved musician and entertainer Emo Adams, award-winning musician Kwesta, Takealot Group CEO Mamongae Mahlare and takealot.com CEO Frederik Zietsman.<\/p>\n

The winning entrant will win a massive R100 000 Takealot voucher for themselves and a R10 000 Takealot voucher to donate to a South African charity or local Heritage Site of their choice.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, the winning design will also be printed on 1 million Takealot boxes that will be delivered around the country in December.<\/p>\n

Takealot is a home-grown South African business, helping to champion the digital economy and increase access to a best-in-class retail experience and products for over a decade.<\/p>\n

\u201cTakealot boxes have become iconic in South Africa and bring moments of delight to our shoppers across our country.”<\/p>\n

“Takealot has launched this Heritage Day Design Challenge to give everyone a creative way to showcase what makes them quintessentially South African, and we can\u2019t wait to deliver the 1 million unique boxes to Takealot shoppers in December\u201d says Julie-Anne Walsh, Chief Marketing Officer at takealot.com.<\/p>\n

Frederik Zietsman, Chief Executive Officer of takealot.com adds: \u201cOur colourful heritage is celebrated by all South Africans. It\u2019s not just quantified by how much biltong we eat, or whether we brew our own umqombothi<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

“For many, \u2018South Africanness\u2019 <\/em>is defined by our roots, the languages we speak, where we live, the stories we tell, how we dress, the music and food we share, and a mixture of all those inherent traditions that have been passed down from one generation to the next which come together to make our country and its people so completely unique.\u201d<\/p>\n
