Innovative Distribution: Testing a new distribution method of an existing project to effectively engage a specific audience through visuals.
Community Activations: Testing how visual storytelling can be leveraged to engage specific audiences and/or address specific community information needs
Field sustainability: building systems and models that push the field of visual storytelling or media ecosystem forward.
