Coming soon to a TV network near you: "iParticipate Week!"
Over 60 network television shows will incorporate service into their plots, which is a great thing for our sector. But it gets even better. The Chronicle of Philanthropy has partnered with the Entertainment Industry Foundation to create the VolunTV Challenge. Your plot ideas could be used in your favorite show!
In addition to seeing your ideas acted out on the small screen, you might even win the Grand Prize: a $5,000 donation in your name to your charity of choice; two Silver Prize winners will each receive a $2,500 donation.
So what are you waiting for? Get to writing! The deadline is October 26. Just don't steal my idea:

Take your camera and shoot some pics that demonstrate the digital divide.
It's the third season for this Barcelona and Switzerland-based organization's digital divide photo contest, and you're invited to participate. They'll be accepting submissions all summer -- through September 20th -- and they'll publish the selected photos on their site starting September 27th.
Read full contest details here, and you can see the 2008 photos here.
