The purpose of the National Ideas Competition for the Washington Monument Grounds is to encourage Americans of all ages to develop innovative and creative ideas for making the Washington Monument grounds more welcoming, educational, and effectively used by the public. The idea for this Competition came out of a realization that while the Washington Monument is the defining feature of the Washington DC skyline and the centerpiece of the National Mall, at ground level its vast open space remains unfinished and underutilized.

The 2010 FotoWeek DC International Awards Competition will recognize and honor extraordinary work in photography from all over the world. FotoWeek DC, a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization, is committed to raising awareness of the power of photography everywhere, in all its forms. Now in its third year, the FotoWeek DC International Awards Competition continues to innovate and find new ways to engage photographers around the world.

The DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities offers a variety of  funding for individuals and nonprofit organizations located in the District of Columbia (and in some cases Washington Metropolitan area).  Here is a list of grants some deadlines are quickly approaching. Take a look!
