The online application system for the 2010 HASTAC/MacArthur Foundation Digital Media and Learning Competition is now open. To apply, visit  http://www.dmlcompetition.net/fastapps/login.php.  You have until January 22, 2010 to submit your preliminary application.  

To make sure that your application process runs smoothly, please keep the following in mind:

Your application will be  made visible to the public for commenting on January 22.  At that time, the application system will stop accepting new applications and be open for comment.  

Prior to submitting your application, you will be given an opportunity to review it. However, once you hit "FINISH" on the application, you will NOT be allowed to revise or edit your application until the resubmission period opens on February 3rd.

The resubmission period of February 3rd-15th is to allow applicants to revise and strengthen their applications by tweaking, editing, broadening, etc., the initial application to incorporate any useful feedback or ideas offered by the public. The structure of the application form will not change.  

It is not necessary for you to revise your application based on the feedback you receive, however, all applications MUST be resubmitted (even those that have not been edited or changed in any way) between February 3rd and 15th.

Please remember that you may only be the primary applicant on ONE application, although you may be listed as a collaborator on other applications. Applicants may be disqualified if they are discovered to have submitted multiple applications by using different email addresses or by using other (real or fictitious) identities to apply.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email dml@hri.uci.edu. While we can't give you feedback or advice on your application, we are happy to answer any specific questions.

BEST OF LUCK IN YOUR APPLICATION!
