Hi everyone, The deadline for this is this Saturday. The finalists will be on stage at the Super-Regional meeting coming up later this year. Last call to win $5,000 for your best Local that Works. Deadline is Saturday, 7/28. Are you part of the public media effort to create new distinctively local programs and services? If so, we want to learn what you’re doing, so we can share your story with colleagues around the country. Current is offering a $5,000 prize in our second Local that Works project competition that *closes this Saturday, July 28 at 5PM ET.* Submit your project today! <http://www.bit.ly/localthatworks> What’s your best local project? An award-winning feature series or a “sense of place” program that explores one of your city’s historic communities? Maybe you started a locally-focused podcast or launched a community forum. Did you expand your live, local concerts or start a youth training program or fill the seats of a local theater for a night of storytelling? Tell us about that. Or maybe… you created that rare project that is unique and perfectly matched to your local community. Like the Columbia River Ship Report <http://coastradio.org/coast-community-radio-coverage-area/programs-podcasts/the-ship-report/> from KMUN in Astoria, Oregon, Precious Lives <http://preciouslivesproject.org/> from WUWM in Milwaukee or Poetry Sunday <http://capeandislands.org/term/poetry-sunday#stream/0> from WCAI in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Whatever you did “to be more local,” we want to hear about it. Takes just 15 minutes to submit your project using this simple form: http://www.bit.ly/localthatworks Our panel of distinguished producers and managers will pick four finalists. Then, we’ll fly you to Atlanta to present your project at the 2018 Super-Regional Meeting <https://prsuper-regionalmeeting.org/prro/2018/index.html>. Conference attendees will pick the winner. Be part of this year’s Local that Works project and we’ll send you a complete catalog of all the entries. Contact us if you need assistance. Otherwise, we look forward to seeing your entry, Mark Fuerst, [email protected] Julie Drizin, [email protected] P. S.
