First off, kudos to the folks over at Minnesota Idea Open for being recognized by nonprofit and social media expert Beth Kanter as “an online social good contest that works.” High praise from a woman who has critiqued other past social good contests by corporations and foundations for poor planning and execution.
Got a bright idea for Minnesota Idea Open's Challenge II?
Fresh from crowning their first victor, Minnesota Idea Open is already at it again searching for the next pressing social challenge of the day. If you’re a Minnesotan, they want to hear from you! Take a quick online survey to help determine what topic innovative Minnesotans will compete to help solve in 2011.
Some of the different social issues that the Minnesota Idea Open team is looking for feedback on include:
- Water stewardship
- Early literacy
- Financial fitness
- Sustainable living
If you have an idea for another focus area that you’d like to suggest for next year’s challenge, there’s also a field where you can submit your own idea.
As they say @MNIdeaOpen, Game On!
