How is COVID-19 affecting the Civic Innovation Challenge? Has the submission deadline been pushed back?

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the original submission deadline of May 18th, 2020 for Mayor Byron W. Brown’s 3rd Annual Civic Innovation Challenge Powered by AT&T is extended indefinitely.

A new submission deadline will be scheduled when municipal operations normalize at the City of Buffalo. The deadline will be set 53 days following the official recommencement to ensure all participants have a comparable development period from the date of postponement.

City employees who had submitted reverse pitch ideas for the Challenge are working remotely, so responses to questions regarding design and functionality may be delayed.
