Love in the Time of COVID Competition— NJIT Hub for Creative Placemaking

The NJIT Hub for Creative Placemaking is hosting a competition for our students. We are targeting this competition toward considering how college students (and others) can carry on personal relationships during this crisis. We solicit creative ideas on how to nurture “Love in the Time of COVID.”   

NJIT students are invited to form cross-discipline development teams for submission of a novel approach to this dilemma. The NJ Innovation Acceleration Center has generously offered a $500 prize to the competition’s winning team. Submissions due by April 15th! Details available on the NJIT Hub for Creative Placemaking home page.
