Here goes:

Application tips: Past challenge winners offered a range of tips on putting together a winning idea and application;

Info on past winners: Over the past month, writer Levi Weinhagen has been touching base with a range of past winners. He found artists turning a steam plant’s plume into a canvas, a food opera in the works, puppets that break down barriers, a paleo-osteological bike rack, and one very small theater.

Or if you prefer, we have a list of all previous challenge winners across four cities.

Your questions, answered: If you still have a doubt, our list of Frequently Asked Questions probably has an answer. Breeze through it.
