Not For Profit Focus for Gov 2.0

Design by Ben Crothers of Catch Media

The Government 2.0 Taskforce has decided to run a contest to fast-track the generation of ideas for using public sector data in a not-for-profit setting, and to help the winner turn this idea into a project proposal.

The Taskforce will award a $5,000 cash donation to a charity/not-for-profit organisation of the winner’s choice. The winner will be the person/organisation that suggests the best idea(s) for using public sector information in a not for profit setting.  The winner(s) (or their nominated not-for-profit organisation) will also be provided assistance from Connecting Up Australia to scope their idea as a project proposal that the Taskforce can consider funding from the Microsoft supported Project Fund.

Entries for the competition are due by 5pm, Friday October 30.
