Deadline- March 17th 2012
The Knight New Challenge is an international media innovation contest. It provides funding for digital journalism and innovation. The Knight New Challenge is about to come up with the first round starting on 27th February 2012.
There will be different topics for every round. The theme of the first round is “networks”. The Networks challenge round seeks projects that use the best of existing software and platforms – those already integrated into people’s lives – to find new ways to convey news and information.
The second round will be held later in the spring. It will be an open competition, looking for new ideas broadly. The theme for the third round, later this year, has yet to be determined.
Each of the three rounds will be eight to 10 weeks long, for shorter, more focused contests that better mirror the pace of innovation. Anyone anywhere can apply.
Entries for the first round will be accepted from 27 February -17 March. The winners will be announced in June.
