An open call to all students : experiement in user-generated development

As part of our effort to involve audience members, we're asking you to go to work! JPMorgan is hosting a unique program where students write a proposal to make the case for why the not-for-profit organization of their choice deserves to receive $25,000. Finalists will pitch to an investment board of JPMorgan executives and the winning team will actually have their proposal funded!

At Misnomer we write over 20 proposals a year, and now here's a unique way that you can help co-produce Misnomer's next dance production! This is actually pretty radical - traditionally the main ways to help a performing arts company that you believe in are to make a financial contribution or volunteer your time in person.

If you are interested, send us an email and we'll provide you with useful support through the process.

Thank you for considering taking a personal stake by making our work your work and for testing the possibilities of user-generated development!
