The first step is a Letter of Interest, due December 5, 2025 to @email. From those, we will invite a subset to submit a full proposal in January 2026. And from those, a subset will be invited to provide a “pitch” (think “Shark Tank”) to a panel of judges and an audience in March 2026.
We are very grateful to our generous donors who make this 3rd annual competition possible.
