Individuals with great ideas to keep accelerating NEO’s arts and culture sector can submit them to Accelerate 2016: Citizens Make Change, a “civic pitch” event presented by Cleveland Leadership Center and Citizens Bank. The deadline is Friday, December 18, 2015, to submit your idea via a simple online application. Civic pitches can also be made in the Community Change, Economic Development, Education and Quality of Life categories.
 
Pitches can be “one-and-done” projects or sustainable, ongoing efforts. Winners receive seed funding and everyone gets community exposure to help bring their vision to reality. Please help spread the word, and if you have a great, innovative, creative or compelling idea, apply before December 18 to be to be considered! The event will be February 24, 2016, in the Global Center for Health Innovation.www.cleveleads.org/Accelerate2016
