The start of a new year means it's time to bring back everybody's favourite fourth-Thursday-of-the-month event. I'm talking about, of course, Awesome Calgary's Thousand Dollar Thursday.
This month, you can find our recap of the event on Storify, which is also embedded below for your reading pleasure.
The winner for this month was Neil Egsgard with Kensington Interaction, a space built by Neil to showcase local knowledge and to connect community in the neighbourhood of Sunnyside. You can see Neil's project submission on the main AF website here and read our micro-grant announcement on the International AF blog here.
Thank you to everyone who took time out of their day to join us at our event yesterday, and thank you to all of our Top4 Finalists for the month of January. We hope we were able to bring you some exposure to your Awesome Ideas, and you never know who's out there watching…
Big thanks to Chinook Centre for graciously hosting us this month as well.
And thank you to everyone who submitted an idea for consideration this month too. It's always hard to whittle down all the monthly submissions into our short lists, and we encourage you to resubmit your idea if you wish. We're currently accepting submissions for our February prize; if you'd like to put forward an idea, simply fill out this handy-dandy web form. The deadline for submissions this round is Sunday, February 10, 2013 at 11:59 p.m.
Finally, we're on the look out for new Trustees and new volunteers across a wide variety of positions. If you feel that you have something to contribute to the Awesome Movement in Calgary (or if you're a venue interested in hosting one of our events this year), send a message to kevin@awesomecalgary.org.
Until next month, Stay Awesome!
