As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to take its toll on businesses and people alike, the focus on outdoor dining has increased.
Because of this new outdoor dining boom, the city of Chicago is offering $5000 to anyone who can come up with ideas to safely have outdoor dining during the winter months.
As we all know, during the winter Chicago is cold, windy, and full of snow but now the city wants to know how they can keep businesses flourishing.
The challenge will choose three winners and they will all be eligible for the cash prize. Winning entries can be anything from startups to existing companies. Just keep in mind social distancing and other safety guidelines.
