Grey is boring, thinks Fortum. Graffiti is not much better.

Therefore the Energy company organized a competition for the best decorated electrical cabinet on the street. In early October Fortum announced the winners of the “Electrical cabinet” compettion. More than 1200 contributions poured in. 180,000 people voted.

The background to the competition is that the energy company spends close to 10 million kronor every year just to get rid of graffiti.
“Now we’ll test it to see if the graffiti will diminish when thee cabinets are finer ” says Professor Molinder, adding that the contest was conducted in cooperation with the City of Stockholm.
