I received the following invite via email today.

We Media and Ashoka have teamed up to present the We Media Changemakers $50,000 Challenge, “The Power of Us,” which aims to find and help launch the best new ideas for inspiring a better world through media and technology.

We invite entries from all fields. We will have two categories, one for business ventures and one for non-profit ventures, and will award up to $50,000 in seed funding. Thanks to a generous grant from the Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation, we will provide $25,000 in seed capital to help launch the best new non-profit idea. Similarly, for the best new commercial idea, we will award $25,000 in seed capital.

The search is hosted at www.changemakers.net. Nominations and entries can be received until January 21, 2009.

The blurb below is the official "brief" on the project.

Do you know a storyteller? What about an influencer? A connector? An idea person? The We Media Changemakers $50,000 Challenge: “The Power of Us” is seeking groundbreaking and impactful media and technology ideas from people who can bring those ideas to life. We are looking for business and non-profit ideas – the best ideas in each category will receive $25,000 to help launch the venture.

Submit your ideas or tell us about the people you know at http://www.changemakers.net/competition/powerofus
