THE WORLD BANK’S FILM CONTEST ON CLIMATE CHANGE - GRAB YOUR CAMERA AND START FILMING TODAY

Poor people in developing countries are already more affected by natural disasters. Climate change will only make this worse. Some of these changes are already happening. An Indonesian fisherman may go days without catching any fish. A farmer in Niger struggles to work her land despite diminishing rainfall.

How do you see climate change affecting people’s lives? Have you experienced its effects yourself? Have you seen how it has affected other people? Can you document those effects in a mini-documentary?

The World Bank’s Social Development Department is thrilled to announce the launch of a world-wide documentary competition, “Vulnerability Exposed: Social Dimensions of Climate Change”. We hope to receive submissions of 2-5 minute documentaries which creatively showcase the social implications of climate change in the areas of conflict, migration, urban space, rural institutions, drylands, social policy, indigenous peoples, gender, governance, forests and/or human rights. You can win a trip to Washington, DC for a screening of the films and to attend a series of networking and learning events organized by the World Bank.

Submit your film by Friday, October 24, 2008!

As part of the 10th anniversary celebrations starting on 15 September 2008, the International Network on Children’s Health, Environment and Safety (INCHES), one of HEAL’s member organisations, launched an International Film Competition on Health and Environment, the first in its kind.

INCHES is a network of people and organisations working to create a healthier environment for children. Their competition, called "Focus on Children in a Healthy Environment" centres on the themes "Climate" and "Environmental Health" and will run until 1 March, 2009. Several cash prizes of 2500 euros will be awarded to the winners of both categories. There are also separate cash prizes for films up to 5 minutes of duration and up to 15 minutes.

The competition is open to all nationalities and ages and both amateurs and professionals are encouraged to participate.

Peter van den Hazel, INCHES’ chair of the board, hopes the films will enable his organisation to reach out to more young people and increase public awareness of environmental health issues globally. He also hopes that they will help to stimulate the political and social changes needed to save children from hazardous environmental situations, such as poor water quality and sanitation, air pollution, waste and poverty reduction.

Business Contests For SMBs Mean Chances For Free Stuff! - Deadline : 14 October 2008

The semiannual cycle of contests for small and midsize businesses is once again in full swing and businesses with the time and wherewithal to develop a worthy entry have a legitimate shot at scoring some attractive swag from BlackBerry Curves to IT infrastructure makeovers to $100,000.

The makeover concept is a popular for businesses contests (Microsoft does one every year) and the fall season is no exception. The recently concluded CDW Project Upgrade Technology Makeover Contest -- for companies with 50 or fewer employees -- bestowed $50,000 in IT upgrades on the Spring Hill Music Group, the Little Mittens Child Care Center, and Cain Hibbard Myers & Cook.

But if you missed that entry deadline, not to fear, there's another makeover contest only a click away. HP's "Pimp My Infrastructure" contest, billed as an IT Midmarket Makeover Contest is dangling a $16,000 small business and $36,000 midsize business makeover before eager applicants. If you dream of servers with Quad-Core Opteron processors, HP Compaq Notebooks, or HP printers, get your entry in by October 20.

If you happen to be of the Canadian persuasion (specifically Ontario or Quebec) and can conjure up 250 scintillating words to describe why your business needs a makeover, you can put your name in the hat for a $33,000 business makeover from Bell Canada, featuring the BlackBerry Curve and a host of telecom services. Deadline on this one is October 14.

Now makeovers are one thing, but intellectual property is another. And at least in contest economics, worth quite a bit more. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is luring start-ups and entrepreneurs with the $100,000 grand prize in the 2008 AWS Start-Up Challenge. So-called "great" ideas or applications already built on Amazon Web services are eligible. Entries must be submitted by October 3 -- and even if you don't take the big money, if you submit a legit idea, you'll come away with a $25 AWS credit for your trouble.

And then there's the truly big game in the contest competition: Google's $10 million competition for an idea that will change the world. If you've got a concept as revolutionary as the Hippo Water Roller send it in by October 20 and take your shot.
