Knight Foundation News Challenge "You invent it. We fund it." This is the Knight Foundations News Challenge slogan which will award $5 million for innovative ideas using digital experiments to transform community news and information exchange. The deadline for applications is November1, 2008. The contest is open to innovators worldwide, from software designers to journalists and everyone in between. To help people interested in applying for a grant, the Knight Foundation has created the News Challenge Garage where applicants can be mentored and peer reviewed by past awardees and some of the biggest web gurus such as Mary Hodder, founder of Dabble.com.
