Due to the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic is an ongoing issue that affects in-person attendance and has caused many organizations to switch to virtual programming, we ask that you take this into consideration when applying for a project this year.  Also, if your application is for an in-person project, you are REQUIRED to have a virtual back-up plan indicated in the application.  If you fail to do this, your application will be disqualified.
