Shorter Events with Smaller Contribution Requirements

Many of the events on the MIX, like M-Prize competitions and hackathons, can prove challenging for busy people--either because the contribution required is onerous (it can take several hours to submit a thorough story) or because the process lasts for an extended period of time (hackathons can run for several...
