The National Book Foundation has launched a new contest whereby they will giveaway a $10,000 prize to an individual or organization that has developed an innovative project which creates and sustains a lifelong love of reading in the community they serve. In addition, the Foundation will recognize four projects, which will receive honorable mention.
Libraries, Non-profits and startups will be eligible. I have the feeling the organization might be giving away the prize to app developers who do something interesting with digital reading, like offering bite sized or serialized fiction.
The deadline is February the 28th and is only open to residents of the United States.
