Thanks to Time, Inc., and its Assignment Detroit effort, we'll be making some small cash awards after the gathering to promising ideas that we will follow throughout the year, culiminating with JTM-North Carolina at Elon University in summer 2011 (date announced soon).
The PDF below links to a draft of the criteria we're considering applying to make the awards. We'll be holding a session during JTM-Detroit to develop the approach, and a coaching session on Sunday morning for some of the best emergent ideas.
Here's a link to a page and downloadable PDF that will help you think about **your** project idea (you do have one, don't you?)
