Aditya Seth | | MTV and Ashoka GenV Invite Young People to Submit Their Ideas to Improve the
Environment
MTV Switch ( http://mtvswitch. org/ ), MTV Networks
International' s
global climate change campaign, and Ashoka GenV ( http://genv.
net/)
are inviting young people to submit their creative ideas to help
improve the environment through the "Dream It. Do It. Challenge."
Applicants will be eligible for seed funding awards of up to
$1,000 each to make their ideas a reality. Up to twenty-five
grants will be awarded for this challenge. The best projects may
also be featured in a half-hour MTV documentary scheduled for
Earth Day 2009. In addition, the Lemelson Foundation will award
five project leaders a trip to Boston, Massachusetts, to take
part in a roundtable discussion on climate change at the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology.
The challenge is open to all youth between the ages of 12 and 20
in North America and Europe and 12 and 24 everywhere else. Each
participant will be required to submit an action plan showing
what activities will be carried out and how the grant will be
spent. Each participant will need to form a team with at least
two other youth to qualify for funding.
Ideas and action plans may be submitted in English, Spanish,
Portuguese, or French. Project ideas are evaluated and grants
are awarded on an ongoing basis. Applicants are advised not to
wait until the December 31, 2008, deadline to submit their ideas.
Visit the program's Web site for complete entry guidelines.
