We won! Next Challenge Grand Prize

Thrilled to announce that at yesterday’s Media Impact Forum in Philadelphia, Next Challenge announced that we won both our division (Future of Local News) as well as the Grand Prize in the 2025 Next Challenge for Media & Journalism competition.

We take this recognition as a symbol of support for our bold vision to put local news in public spaces. Our prototype sparks imagination for how residents in San Francisco and around the world view their public sidewalks. Thank you to the Glen Nelson Center, the MacArthur Foundation, and the entire Next Challenge Team for the generous support throughout the process and yesterday.
