Did you work on an innovative and creative project developed in the Northeast Florida region in 2011? There is an opportunity for accolades and recognition from JAX Boldest, a new regional contest launched today.

JAX Boldest is seeking entries and votes from the public to identify the best company, non-profit organization and project of 2011.

Northeast Florida residents can submit entries starting today until March 31 in the form of a video, picture or written description. Residents can choose the entries they think are the best by voting on the website.

A leaderboard will be displayed on the site throughout the duration of the contest, which will provide an overview of the current winning entries. JAXUSA Partnership, a division of the JAX Chamber, is driving the contest and will announce the winners at the Innovate Northeast Florida launch event on April 19.

The individual who submits the winning entry for each category will receive a cash prize of $500. Those submitting their ideas are encouraged to be as creative as possible as a video may receive more attention from voters than just a written summary. The selected best new project, company and non-profit will receive an inscribed commemorative tablet that may be prominently placed in the winning location.

This contest, which is part of the #ilovejax campaign, celebrates all of the great things about the JAX region and encourages citizens to talk about the city and region to family, friends, colleagues and visitors outside of the region.
