The deadline to submit ideas for the “Design Your Future” pitch competition has been extended to Jan. 31.
The competition is looking for ideas on how to improve the educational outcomes of young Black males in Milwaukee.
The winners will receive two different payments: a $10,000 grant to spend on making the idea a reality, as well as a $2,500 stipend for each individual youth working on the proposal.
Ideas can be submitted by individuals or groups and can be presented in a written, visual or audio format. You can find more information on how to submit your idea here.
