Request for Proposals

The New Jersey Council for the Humanities requests proposals for Visualizing Democracy: Contemporary Conversations, an initiative seeking digital projects that will explore, curate, and visualize the recently created “conversation” archive on the state of democracy within New Jersey and beyond (seen below). Proposals selected for commission will receive an award of $2500-5000, depending on the scale of the project.
