Since October, ideas about mobile technologies for good have been exciting the NetSquared community.   Today, and only for this week, you get to select the top 15 projects to move on in the USAID Development 2.0 Challenge!

You don't have to be part of a project team or even be a mobile tech expert to participate.   Go Vote!  

Why vote?

The voting process is simple, interactive and fun.   Plus, your voices together are better than ours alone and voting in the USAID Challenge Community Vote will help select the very best 15 projects to move on to the panel of judges.

Voting begins on Monday, December 8 and closes on Friday, December 12.   That's just one week of voting, so we hope you'll get the word out to friends and colleagues to help support the projects you care about.

How to vote:

• You must Register and Login to the NetSquared site to participate in the Vote (please check your junk mail folder if you do not see a registration email confirmation)
• Each registered user has one (1) ballot
• You must vote for at least three (3) Projects and no more than five (5)
• All votes are weighted equally (in other words, your first choice and fifth choice have equal value)
• You can only vote for each Project once, yes that includes your own

We're checking things twice to make sure the voting engine works for everybody, and we'll be here to answer any last minute questions leading up to the close of voting.   Contact us if you have any problems or questions - we want to make sure your vote counts!

The top 15 selected projects will be announced Monday, December 15th, and will be presented to USAID, where a panel of judges will select the final 3.   For more information about the Challenge, check out the USAID Development 2.0 Challenge page.
