We’re looking to have conversations on data that move us toward the future we want to see. What does the future of personal data and the internet as a global public resource look like a year from now? 5 years? 10 years?
Whether your project directly relates to data, unites diverse people online from around the globe, or uses the web to artistically fight for a healthy internet, we want to hear about it.
We’re seeking projects that explore artificial intelligence and machine learning. In a world where biased algorithms, skewed data sets, and broken recommendation engines can radicalize YouTube users, promote racism, and spread fake news, it’s more important than ever to support artwork and advocacy work that educates and engages internet users.
Mozilla is awarding a total of $225,000, with individual awards ranging up to $50,000. Final award amounts are at the discretion of award reviewers and Mozilla staff, but it is currently anticipated that the following awards will be made:
Two $50,000 total prize packages ($47,500 award + $2,500 MozFest travel stipend)
Five $25,000 total prize packages ($22,500 award + $2,500 MozFest travel stipend)

Mozfest is a COMMUNITY event. Held over 9 floors and we’re proud of the diversity of sessions and workshops held by youth, marginalised, beginners, through to world experts. It can be a daunting thought to consider holding space.
We have a number of ways in which we seek to coach you towards a great experience. Here’s one of them. Clarity on what we are looking for from proposals:
This week the applications for Round 6 of Mozilla Foundation’s Open Leaders program kicked off. Applicants are encouraged to also submit a Mozfest session proposal. Your Mozfest proposal still needs to be in by August 1, but closing date for Open Leaders is August 5.
Even if you’ve already sent in your Mozfest proposal you can still apply for this ace network building opportunity!
Open Leaders is a 14 week peer mentored network for open projects. I had a project back in Round 2 and mentored in Rounds 4 & 5. If you have an open source project already active, you’ll be taken through Github, important documents like your Code of Conduct, growing your contributors, hosting events and much more.
It’s as good as the effort you personally put in. I highly recommend it if you might have a few hours spare each week September through December.
If you’ve previously been in the program please do consider becoming a mentor for this round. You’ll learn so much and are supported by Mozilla with mentor’s training too! It incredibly rewarding sharing your personal growth experience with others hungry to learn.
