This is the second in a four-part series about writing The Participatory Museum.

It's left some nonprofit professionals wondering whether these types of contests are a good idea. In some ways, it comes as no surprise that the race to the finish line ended with more allegations of dubious behavior by contest participants and those watching them compete.
