Selection process
We will do two to three open calls between 2019 and 2021, which will be advertised through our website, blog and social networks. The Steering Committee including Avina, Luminate and the Open Society Foundations, will review all preselected submissions. After that, a advisory council will prioritize submissions to select finalists.
Outside of the open calls, we may solicit targeted applications to respond to evolving priority areas
and needs.
