Google offers $10 million for World's Best Ideas
Google is offering $10 million as prize money in a competition aimed at transforming the world's best ideas into useful products. As part of the company's 10th anniversary celebrations, Project 10 to the 100th asks people to submit ideas in seven categories to the project.
The competition is open to anyone. The seven categories include sustainable energy use, environment, health, education, shelter, encouraging communities, and building opportunities to help people better provide for themselves and their families. An eighth category is simply titled "everything else".
Ideas can be submitted through a form available on the website, which poses questions including, "If your idea were to become a reality, who would benefit the most and how?" and "Describe the optimal outcome should your idea be selected and successfully implemented".
A panel of independent judges will choose the best ideas and divide the prize money equally among the winners. The website says that Google is looking for simple ideas that will help large numbers of people, especially those with urgent needs.
