Event Details

THE SUBMISSION PERIOD HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO JULY 15TH, 2010 AND OPENED TO ALL MA COMMUNITIES!

Pioneer Institute is launching the "Ultimate Citizen Award", a competition to hear citizen's ideas about how government can be made more transparent and accountable through technology.

From May 18th to July 15th, 2010, people in in Massachusetts are invited to contact their families, friends, and neighbors to ask them 3 basic questions:

  • What government information do you think people should have access to?
  • In what format do you think this information should be delivered in?
  • How do you think technology can be used to make government more transparent and accountable to citizens?

People who participate in this process will collect responses to these 3 questions through blog posts, email surveys, video testimonials, phone calls, twitter update submissions, and in-person focus groups. 

 

The individual/team that captures the deepest and broadest insights possible

will receive a $1,000 "Ultimate Citizen Award" and public recognition.
