Choose your “better way”

I have written about the Cabinet Office’s Show Us a Better Way competition a few times now – following its launch and then highlighting a couple of interesting ideas (Urban BIM and TfL mashup). The competition attracted around 500 entries and closed at midnight on 30 September, and we now have the chance to cast 10 votes on our favourite ideas at Show Us a Better Way (public vote), with the winner getting £20,000 to develop the solution.

Meanwhile, another ideas competition, Project 10 to the 100, has been started by Google and has an altogether bigger prize at stake – a cool $10 million! You have until 20 October to submit ideas and there will be a vote on a 100-strong shortlist in January 2009.
