Prized Solutions: Reimagining NYC
Prized Solutions: Reimagining NYC offers all students at The New School the unique opportunity to share their well-developed, pre-existing projects with a broader audience through an ideas competition. This contest is geared to those offering fresh analysis and approaches to some of the toughest issues facing the city, such as improving schools, homelessness, and reducing inequality. Submissions can be research papers, photo essays, short films, or other works of art and design.
Five winning projects will be awarded $2,000 and will have their work published with the Center for New York City Affairs. Winners and finalists will participate in a Spring 2017 Showcase, where they can share their outstanding work and network with peers, policymakers, and activists from organizations in NYC.
Eligible submissions will have:
- A clearly defined problem or topic that addresses a pressing social or economic challenge in NYC.
- A completed research project or product that offers fresh ideas and analysis that has the potential to generate broad public policy/social change.
- A documented research process.
- Broad appeal and applicability to a variety of audiences.
- A collaborative element: Preference for projects that foster partnerships with other students, and/or local groups and organizations.
Applications now available here and will close on February 10, 2017.
