We’re days away from opening applications for the 2014 Knight Arts Challenge, which funds the best ideas for the arts in South Florida.

This is our seventh edition of the challenge. And over the past few years, we’ve increasingly seen great ideas, the kind of ideas you can’t wait to like, share and +1 about, coming from South Florida’s many neighborhoods. (Dance performance at the Miami Marine Stadium, anyone? How about Western fairy tales reinterpreted through Indian dance?)

So the first week of February, we’ll be traveling all around the region–from Marathon up to Fort Lauderdale—for Community Q&As to meet with everyone interested in applying.

This is your chance to find out how the challenge works, get tips on how to write about your project, talk to past winners about how they approached the application, learn about the challenge timeline and more. There will be tips for everyone—whether it’s your first time applying, or you have submitted several ideas in the past and want to get a leg up on the process.

Take a look at the schedule below. We hope you can join us. And don’t forget to submit your idea from Jan. 27 to Feb. 24 on this site, KnightArts.org.
