The 10 finalists each receive $75,000 in grant funding and training and the winner of the public vote receives and additional $250,000. WIU's Illinois Institute for Rural Affairs has been named a finalist. If you haven't voted for them yet, head over here and do so:

I did the "vote early and vote often" Chicago approach.

You can only vote once, but there is a caveat. Only once from each device - guessing it records the MAC address - SO!!, a desktop, a laptop, and a phone makes 3 from me!

Not MAC address. You can go Google Chrome "New Incognito Window" and vote a million times. Or at least it does not disable the Vote button like it does the conventional routes. Should we get the "Click Brigade" organized and called into action?

Illinois Institute for Rural Affairs Honored for Project to Address Food Deserts.
