AshokaIn association with WeMedia, Ashoka's Changemakers.net is sponsoring a competition to suss out "the best new ideas for inspiring a better world through media and technology." Ashoka's Jenna Lawrence says that with "The Power of Us", Changemakers is:

running the equivalent of a business plan competition to provide up to $50,000 in funding for early stage business and non-profit ventures.  The ventures must be related to media or technology.  We will collect all entries through the Changemakers website and then there will be a live, pitch-it competition at a conference in Miami at the end of February.

The competition is also notable for its open process: you can read the applications from every organization entering (17 orgs from 6 different countries, as of this posting). You can learn more and enter at the Changemakers website.
