Wow, Steemit community I just came across an epic opportunity for someone or a team of Steemians to build awareness for Steem, build partnerships with Mozilla and the National Science Foundation, and make $2 million for the Steemit community.
Mozilla is now accepting applications from businesses, organizations, non-profits, and individuals for two challenges for (2) Wireless Innovation for a Networked Society (WINS).
One challenge, the "Off-the-Grid Internet Challenge," purpose to find the best decentralized solution (s) that help get people get connected online after a disaster. I am curious to if the decentralized blockchain technology Steemit is built on could help provide sometime of solution, whether it be operational or currency related.
The other contest is the "Smart Community Networks Challenge" which is looking for solutions to connect people online to allow them to live their daily lives in areas in the United States where technological related solutions are not an option.
BENEFITS FOR STEEMIT COMMUNITY:
solve a humanitarian need
build strategic cooperative partnerships with two large organizations, Mozilla and the National Science Foundation.
build brand awareness of Steem and the Steemit community and concept to areas as their first impression with digital solutions (can you imagine Steemit being front and center in these communities)
receive a large amount of funds that could be used for future awareness and branding campaigns or whatever the community chooses
What do you think? There has to be one if not multiple applications of Steemit and Steem's platform and technology to solve these challenges. Someone or team of us Steemians has to have the expertise, knowledge, time, effort, and resources to get achieve this goal.

2 million can help a lot for awareness campaigns. Most good marketing is done for free, let alone with 2 million dollars
Thanks for letting us know about the prize and sharing your thoughts on the benefits it could bring to the community :)
you're welcome buddy. I am glad to do my part for this community :)

hahahaha yesssssss
Interesting read. Not too familiar with infrastructure behind Steem and how it may be applied in this scenario. Lets hope someone who sees this does though. I would help in any way I could to raise awareness for this platform. The more people that know about Steem, the more value it has to us all.
Exactly, exactly my friend. My goal is to provide value by bringing awareness to this opportunity.
Yes, that would be a good idea! As you said, Steemit gets some good amount of brand awarness.
Thanks buddy I appreciate your thoughts and attention
