What is the Emerging City Champions Program?
The Emerging City Champions is a fellowship program for young civic innovators with transformative ideas. We are looking for future city leaders with creative solutions that will enhance civic engagement, improve mobility, and activate public life in public spaces.
Here’s how it works:
- Submit your idea for a project or program that will make your city more successful. All applications must include a multimedia submission (see Apply Now page for details).
- 20 Champions will be selected by a review panel of city building experts
- Successful applicants will be invited to the Emerging City Champions Studio taking place June 25-28, 2016
- Champions will have one year, and receive $5,000 and ongoing support to implement their project
- You provide the vision, drive, and determination. We’ll provide guidance and some funds to get you started.
