Google Project 10 to the 100th

On the 10th anniversary, Google has launched a new project name Project 10100

Project 10100 (pronounced “Project 10 to the 100th”) is a call for ideas to change the world by helping as many people as possible.

In this project anyone can participate by sending their ideas which can help the maximum people. Last date for submission of ideas is October 20, 2008. Idea can also be submitted in the form of 30-second video.

After all the idea submissions, Google will post a selection of 100 ideas and open them for voting from the public to choose the 20 semi-finalists. Later, an advisory board will short-list up to five final ideas.
