AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

The Knight Foundation and National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) have organized this journalism challenge to initiate high-quality cultural coverage, new and innovative ideas and constructive criticism from individuals and organizations.

Any journalist can apply as long as their idea focuses on one of the following communities: Akron, OH, Charlotte, NC, Detroit, MI, Macon, GA, Miami, FL, Philadelphia, PA, St. Paul, MN or San Jose/Silicon Valley, CA.

First-round winners receive up to US$20,000 to develop an action plan, which should clearly describe their project and how it will impact arts journalism in one of the eight communities listed above.

From this pool, a group of second-round winners will be picked and awarded an additional US$80,000 to implement their plan over a two-year period.

The deadline for applications is August 18.
