OPPORTUNITIES: Looking at democracy - national competition for creative media (USA)


The MacArthur Foundation and Illinois Humanities Council is sponsoring a national competition for creative media pieces about strengthening American democracy. $100,000 in prize money will be awarded in May. Submissions are due by April 16th, 2013.  We thought you’d be interested in passing along this exciting opportunity to your colleagues!

We’re looking for short, provocative media submissions designed to spark a national conversation about how we can all come together to strengthen American democracy. 
If you are an independent media maker, investigative reporter, student, graphic designer, artist – or anyone with creative ideas to help engage Americans and shift the political discussion in a fresh and engaging way, then use your creativity to share your vision of how to make government work to improve our nation, our communities, and our lives.  
Go to http://lookingatdemocracy.org/ to find out more and submit an entry.
