This Friday is the deadline to submit your ideas to the UCB Human Rights Center Mobile Challeng. Projects that support human rights work can be for any mobile platform and at any stage of development to be eligible.   There's $30,000 on the table for the three winners and you can submit your idea in just a matter of minutes!  

Check out the Challenge page and the Project Gallery!

How it Works

The Human Rights Center is sponsoring a challenge to encourage innovations for applying mobile technologies for human rights investigations and advocacy. Through a NetSquared Community vote, 10 finalists will be chosen. All 10 finalists will be invited to present their ideas at an international conference, "The Soul of the New Machine: Human Rights, Technology, and New Media," at UC Berkeley, May 4 and 5, 2009. A panel of judges, selected by the Human Rights Center, will choose three winners, to be announced at the conference. Winners will receive cash awards of $15,000 (first place), $10,000 (second place), and $5,000 (third place) to implement their ideas.
