Be Here: Baltimore – Call for Proposals

Calling all storytellers!


Be nimble, be quick: 
Submit your proposals no later than July 10, 2016; win $1,000 and publish your mobile stories by August 15!

WHAT:
We want to hear your stories of the history, culture, and people of Baltimore in order to connect the city’s many voices with global and local audiences. Find out more about the Be Here: Baltimore project here.

WHY: 
Be Here: Baltimore aims to catalyze a mobile storytelling eco-system that helps sustain creators (individuals as well as organizations) by making Baltimore’s culture and heritage more visible, relevant, and accessible to local and global audiences.

HOW:
With sponsorship from izi.TRAVEL, MuseWeb is offering $25,000 in funding to help you tell your stories through open mobile platforms. 20 projects will be granted $1,000 each to create location-based digital content about Baltimore’s cultural heritage and collections designed for mobile users. After the delivery of the projects on August 15, a further $5,000 in matching grants will be divided among the most successful projects for creating additional content and expanding the mobile experiences.
