On the weekend of March 14, 2008, an international panel of jurors reviewed the Just Jerusalem Competition submissions and chose the following 4 visions as the recipients of the Jerusalem Visionary Fellowship at MIT.  The jury saw many visionary proposals and chose these four to create a well-rounded group which they felt would best work together during the fellowship semester to address the challenging problems facing Jerusalem.  The visions below are the most current iterations of these teams' visions.
