Change the Web, Win some Money

posted by Noah at 8:00 AM
The Change the Web Challenge wants your web apps for a better world (and they've got $10,000 in prize money as an incentive):

Social Actions' Change the Web Challenge is about building innovative tools to help people find and share opportunities to take action on the websites, blogs, and social networks that we all visit everyday.

Social Actions (a N2Y3 winner) has created an open database of 60,000+ actions from 40+ sites -- including GlobalGiving, Change.org, DonorsChoose.org, Kiva.org, NABUUR, TakingITGlobal, Idealist.org, and VolunteerMatch. Now we want to get these actions out there -- onto the websites, blogs, and social networks that millions of people visit everyday. Next time inspiration strikes you to make a difference, the opportunities to take action will be but one click away.

Social Actions is facilitating this challenge to encourage innovations for distributing opportunities to make a difference across the Internet and mobile devices. Through a NetSquared Community vote, 20 finalists will be chosen. A panel of judges selected by Social Actions will choose 3 winners from among the 20 finalists, to be announced at NTEN's Nonprofit Technology Conference, April 28th 2009. Winners will receive cash awards of $5,000 (first place), $3,000 (second place), and $2,000 (third place).

You have until April 3rd to enter, so don't delay. Get the full details HERE.

Noah, Thank you so much for spreading the word about the Change the Web Challenge! It's awesome to think that socially conscious designers will be working on web apps to change the world. And thank you for connecting us with designer Nadia Gomez (http://nadiagomez.net/), who created our amazing and inspiring logo!
