Join Matt Haggman and Chris Caines, the Miami program team for the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, for a community information session on the Knight Cities Challenge.

The Knight Cities Challenge seeks new ideas from innovators who will take hold of the future of our cities. We’re looking for projects at the city, neighborhood and block level – and all sizes in between – that can be put to work in one of the 26 Knight communities. Winning ideas, which will be announced in spring 2017, will share in $5 million. Ideas, which can be submitted by anyone, from anywhere, must focus on one or more of these three key city drivers: attracting and retaining talented people, expanding economic opportunity and creating a culture of civic engagement.

Learn why Knight cares about these three areas, how to craft your applications, and the challenge time line and review process.

For more information on the challenge, which will be open Oct. 10- Nov. 3, visit knightcities.org and follow @knightfdn and #knightcities on Twitter.
