Build a Community of Your Challenge Entrants
Challenge Implementation—Step 3 of 4
Challenge.gov users can use its discussion board to build a supportive community of people working on entries for your challenge. You can answer their questions, encourage teaming, and remind them of deadlines.
Challenge.gov Discussion Features
Discussion capability can be turned “off,” but leaving it “on” is preferable. Challenge.gov allows you to name discussion moderators, so these staff members should be trained and prepared to respond to comments.
