Knight
News Challenge Update

Hello!

Things have really been chugging along here at the Knight News Challenge
2008<http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=24362332&msgid=332903&act=830H&c=272809&admin=0&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newschallenge.org%2F>,
with lots of innovative new outreach coinciding with the contest's official
start. The worldwide contest reopened on September 2nd with another $5
million in funding available for digital media experiments to innovate news
and communication before applications close on November 1st.

*You Invent It. We Fund It!*

The contest is open to community-minded innovators worldwide, from software
designers to journalists to citizens and students of any age. Do you have a
big idea for informing and inspiring a geographic community using social
media, Web 2.0 tools or OpenID? How about exchanging information via video,
photos or text messaging? A way to integrate game theory with web browsing
to support local community engagement? Come on, push the edge – we're
seeking true innovation!

Winning entries must have three elements:

1) use of a digital media
2) delivery of news or information on a shared basis to
3) a geographically defined community

Entries must be open-source and share the software and knowledge created.

*New in 2008: The News Challenge Garage*

where prospective applicants can receive peer reviews and mentoring
from
screeners and awardees from previous years. To date, over 40 applications
