Eligibility Criteria
You might be a David Prize winner if you can say yes to the following:
- You’re a New Yorker: You love and live in New York’s five boroughs. Your work is focused on this special place, even if you have a vision to scale beyond it someday.
- You have serious plans to contribute: Whether socially, economically, culturally, environmentally (or otherwise), you have a divergent and unique vision for how to make NYC a place where people yearn to live, and concrete ideas about how to achieve it.
- You’re a visionary: You take risks and have the grit to make something out of nothing. You see long-term benefits where others see short-term obstacles.
- You get things done: You’re already a contributor. You have demonstrated capacity and have a track record of extraordinary work, but you haven’t done it all yet.
- You truly need the prize: Funding and visibility could change the trajectory of your work and life, not to mention your block, your borough, and maybe even the city.
