Knight News Challenge: Open Government
How can we make the places we live more awesome through data and 
technology? How can we make public information more relevant and useful?
The Knight News Challenge is funding innovative projects that could 
improve the way citizens and governments interact. The Knight News 
Challenge's definition of open government is broad and could include 
everything from opening and visualizing data to collaborative 
policymaking to completely restructuring the way an institution 
interacts with people. Winners of the Knight News Challenge will receive 
a share of $5 million in funding and support from Knight’s network of 
influential peers and advisors to help advance their ideas. The 
competition is open to nonprofits, for-profits or individuals anywhere 
in the world. Awards to minors will be made to an intermediary 
designated by Knight Foundation. Organizations based outside the US will 
require a fiscal sponsor; the Knight Foundation will work this out with 
you later in the process if you move forward.
