The ideal of the Internet is as a vehicle for free and open information exchange. While Net Neutrality is being debated, there are plenty of people still working to protect and promote the idea of a free and open Internet.

To wit, the Knight, Ford and Mozilla Foundations collaborated on a competition calling for projects to help promote an open and accessible Internet — and the winners were announced today. The 19 winning projects include solutions to address the issues ranging from diversity in the tech work force, to privacy and censorship.

“With threats to privacy, security and access to the web intensifying, there is a real craving for a more open and trustworthy web,” said Mark Surman, executive director of the Mozilla Foundation.
