For the second year in a row, Creative Loafing and Creative Tampa Bay present 10/100/1000 — a contest to find 10 great ideas to make Tampa Bay a better place to live, with $1,000 awarded to the best idea of all. This year, we're fortunate to have some exciting new partners: the winners of the 2011 contest, Swings Tampa Bay, who will hold workshops during the 2012 application process on how to bring your good ideas to life. We're also inviting anyone who believes in the forward-thinking spirit of 10/100/1000 to become a member of the Ten100 Club: Donate $100 to Creative Tampa Bay, and we will list your name or your company's name on the 10/100/1000 website, providing links to your business and offering opportunities to network with leaders of the area's creative economy.

The application deadline for 10/100/1000 was Thursday April 5 at 5 p.m. Applications are now CLOSED. Judges now begin the process of choosing the 10 finalists, which will consist of their top nine choices and the Readers' Choice winner. The $1,000 grand prize winner will be presented to one of these 10 at an awards party on Apr. 18 at CL Space, and announced in the issue of Apr. 19.

Voting for the Readers' Choice winner continues until 5 p.m. on Monday Apr. 9. Just click the Vote Now button on the project(s) of your choice.
