Dear All Hands Active:
We found your name on the Makerspace.com directory. I was writing to introduce to you the Infy Maker Awards. Announced by Infosys Foundation USA in late September, the Infy Maker Awards has committed $1 million towards recognizing creative excellence in maker projects with social impact. These will include 25 awards of $10,000 each for adult makers (age 18+) over the next nine months. The awards website is www.InfyMakers.com and we are also active on Twitter at @InfyFoundation using the hashtag #InfyMakers.
Our Fall cycle closes in two weeks and I thought perhaps Makers in your community may be interested in entering and competing. We’d greatly appreciate it if you would consider forwarding this message to anyone you think may be keen on participating. I’ve also attached here a PDF flyer with details which can be printed out for a bulletin board.
Thank you so much for time and please do let me know if you have any questions regarding this. We look forward to some exciting projects!
Cheers,
Kaustav Mitra
On behalf of Infosys Foundation USA
