Dream a Sound Future Competition: Updates from the Inside

Hi Kurt Harjo here, volunteer on the Dream a Sound Future Competition.

I'm excited to be working on the program. I'm helping plan, organize and otherwise iron out the details of Format, including structuring how judging will work and gathering prizes.

We know that we will be providing venues for entrants. After people tell us what kind of entry project they'll be submitting we'll find the spaces. We will find public display areas like cafes, library's, universities and other public buildings. Most of the places either have cases, or available wall spaces. If the entry requires a performance type venue, we have ideas for stage settings as well. We look forward to being able to facilitate this for entrants.

This type of display also allows for entries to be on display for a longer period of time. I think having these dreams available for sharing will be inspiring and motivational the region at large.

I love new ideas and I’m excited about what dreams will come alive through this competition. I believe the right now the Puget Sound region is loaded with Dreams that just need a place to be expressed. We will be provide the format for expression and help bring these dreams into the public. These entries will inspire & motive us, and I'm excited for the new possibilities that will come from this, and what they'll mean for our region and for our planet.

I've also heard talk of potential funding how top rated entrants could be given funding towards incubating good ideas into something effective on a larger scale.
