Big Question: https://www.mainehumanities.org/programs-grants/the-big-question/. The description there is great and you can see the questions from previous years down at the bottom. Most of the pictures are too big to attach, so I’ll try sending them via WeTransfer. In 2024, the question we asked was: What do we hold onto? What do we let go? In 2023, the question we asked was: What if we go on this way?
