223 Entries, 20 Semi-Finalists, 3 Finalists: One receives $25,000.

The first-ever InCommons Collaboration Challenge recognizes and supports innovative collaborations to solve community problems. 223 collaborations from all over Minnesota entered the Challenge, all looking for the opportunity to receive $25,000 to continue, replicate or expand their efforts. A group of evaluators, led by the Citizens League, and then an independent panel of expert judges have narrowed this group down to three outstanding collaborations.

3000+ Minnesotans cast their vote to determine which collaboration should receive the $25,000. Congratulations to the top vote-getter, the Minnesota River/Lake Pepin Friendship Tours collaboration!
