Hey there, a lot of you probably know about this, but it would break my heart if someone missed out so here's a copy of the "last chance to apply" announcement from our good friend and proud SFC alum, Ben Moskowitz

====================================================

Knight-Mozilla News Challenge DEADLINE TO APPLY: June 6th http://drumbeat.org/journalism

Working together, technologists and journalists can innovate faster.

The Knight Foundation and Mozilla are seeking fresh ideas for web-based journalism. Enter the Knight-Mozilla News Challenge and we will help turn your back-of-napkin sketches into working software. We'll pair you with collaborators and help get your ideas off the ground. We are even offering paid fellowships inside newsrooms at BBC, Al-Jazeera, The Guardian, Boston.com, and Zeit Online.

This is an opportunity to demonstrate your skills and harness the transformative potential of the open web. To get started, simply submit an idea to one of the following three challenges before June 6th:

•Unlocking Video     http://mzl.la/unlocking-video     How would you bring the best qualities of the web to news video?

•Beyond Comment Threads     http://mzl.la/beyond-comment-threads     How would you create more dynamic spaces for news discussion?

•People-Powered News     http://mzl.la/people-powered-news     How would you improve the way we create and consume news?

We don't need a full proposal—just a good idea. Learn more at http://drumbeat.org/journalism, follow @knightmozilla, and join the community mailing list: http://mzl.la/mojolist.

What's your idea?
