There is only one month left to spread the word and apply for the Cooney Center Prizes for Innovation in Children’s Learning, a national competition intended to generate digital educational innovations for children ages 3-11.  Apply now for the chance to win up to $50,000, as well as ongoing business planning support from The Joan Ganz Cooney Center and Sesame Workshop. 
  
To tell you more about this amazing opportunity, and answer any questions you may have about the Prizes competition, the Joan Ganz Cooney Center is hosting a Q&A conference call.

The greatest part of administering this competition is announcing the winners and hearing their plans for the year.  The worst part is knowing only a tiny fraction of applications can be funded--and wishing so many more could be.  There will be a third competition next year, of course, but once again there will be winners and those not funded.  That's life.  But I wish it weren't!  Too many worthy ones go unfunded and that is something no one likes . . .

This short video was made February 2008, after the first winners of the Digital Media and Learning Competition was announced.  These winners will be showcasing their work at a concert at Newberry Library April 16 and a Showcase with panel discussions and an interactive expo on April 17 at the Palmer House, both in Chicago.  New winners for this year's competition will be announced at the Showcase and perhaps among the visitors will be some of next year's winners, too.  We hope so!  We invite you to join us and, in the meantime, to enjoy this short video.  http://tiny.cc/PECYk

After the close of the first Digital Media and Learning Competition, I wrote a number of posts discussing ways to make one's applications as competitive as possible.  Here's a reblog of one of those posts, called "Writing to Win."

The Digiteal Media and Learning Competition closes on October 15 . . . that's a little more than a month away. My advice to anyone who is applying: register NOW. You can start your application, check out everything you need, fill out part of it, and come back to it later . . .it will be waiting for you. But if you wait until the end, it might be too late to gather everything you need. Start applying NOW at www.dmlcompetition.net!
