Today, I wanted to think about participatory elements, something so essential to this blog. Awards can be incredibly gratifying. Awards can show higher-ups the value of our work and they can be important tools for showing funders results. And, I have been known to give out an award or two. That’s huge.

We awarded $5000 to each exhibit design that was translated to real life. The above points may make it sound like the virtual designers only contributed ideas.
