What is the Fast Pitch Competition? Fast Pitch encourages proposals for ideas on improving or transforming the work environment at a library, or any information-related enterprise or organization in educational technology.

The call for participation is open to all who are in the process of developing new, innovative, and implementable ideas to improve their academic libraries or related organizations. The intent of the competition is to showcase innovation in information management and to award the most deserving examples of innovation. There will be two awards of $2,500 each for winning proposals from U.S.-based tax exempt non-profit organization, generously sponsored by the Goodall Family Foundation.
