Green Mountain Coffee's latest event is an online competition to find and help fund innovative ideas that strengthen and improve communities across the northeastern U.S. The competition is called Revelation to Action: Your Place. Your Idea. Your Change. We encourage everyone to visit the site, get involved, and spread the word.
We partnered with Ashoka’s Changemakers to get this competition going. Ashoka is a global online community that connects people to share ideas, inspire and mentor each other, and find and support social innovation.
Our competition takes place at www.Changemakers.com/Revelation, where community members are invited to nominate individuals and organizations with community solutions. Winners will be judged on innovation, social impact, and long-term sustainability. The best innovations will be awarded prizes totaling $50,000.
All are invited to share this information and URL with organizations or individuals who might be interested in entering the competition or getting involved. Nominate a project, enter an idea, discuss the proposals, and vote for the projects. The early entry deadline is March 24, 2010, and the final deadline is April 21, 2010.
