Change the world with Google

Prizes worth a total of US$10 million are up for grabs to those with ideas on how to change the world, Google announced yesterday.

“We are asking our users to send us exciting ideas for ways to improve people’s lives and have committed US$10 million to turn up to five of the best ideas into reality. These ideas can be big or small, technology-driven or brilliantly simple – but they need to have impact,” the Internet giant said in a statement.

The ideas will be selected by Google users, it said. The Project 10^100 (pronounced Project 10 to the 100th) contest is part of Google’s 10th birthday celebrations.
