Participate in Changemakers online competitions

Dear Equator Net members,

Changemakers, an initiative of Ashoka, invites successful organizations to submit innovative solutions to specific problems in diverse Changemakers online competitions.

The winners of the frequently changing competitions will be those entries that best meet the following criteria: Innovation, Social Impact, and Sustainability.

The competitions are open to all types of organizations (charitable organizations, private companies, or public entities) from all countries. Entries are only considered if they

  • reflect the theme of the competition,
  • are beyond the stage of idea, concept, or research, and, at a minimum, are at the demonstration stage and indicate success.
  • are submitted in English or Spanish, and are complete.

The three winners of each competition receive US$5,000. All entrants gain great exposure on the Changemakers website and have their entry read by a global community of innovators and investors.

The deadline for submission of your innovation entry is roughly 11 weeks after the start of each competition.

For additional questions please contact Ashoka Global Headquarters via the following page: http://www.changemakers.net/en-us/contact
