15 incredible submissions this month made it another very tough month to narrow it down to just 4 awesome ideas. Do you have any idea how tough it is to be surrounded by so much creativity, innovation, hope for the future and just all-around awesomeness and then be limited to selecting just 4 of those ideas to come and pitch to us?? It keeps me up at night wondering how we can find ways to reward more of these incredible people of Calgary and their inspiring ideas.
