The contest is simple: devise the most creative, ambitious, awe-inspiring, spotlight-stealing community betterment project you can muster. The most creative, ambitious, awe-inspiring, spotlight-stealing (yet feasible) ideas will be selected and implemented under your direction, using the resources of the Creed.¹

What's in it for you:

• A check for $1,000
