World Challenge 2007

February 2007

Now in its third year, World Challenge is back and looking for nominations for projects that make a real difference to local communities. The mission of World Challenge 2007 is simple: to seek and reward innovators and entrepreneurs who are implementing grassroots solutions to some of the toughest problems of our age, from poverty to pollution. It could be you or someone you know.

World Challenge 2007, brought to you by BBC World and Newsweek in association with Shell, is a global competition that seeks out projects and businesses that not only make a profit, but also put something back into the community. World Challenge 2007 is all about rewarding individuals or groups that truly make a difference through enterprise and innovation at a grass roots level.

The winner will receive a US$20,000 from Shell to benefit their project. One representative from each of the three final projects will be flown to The Hague, The Netherlands to attend the award ceremony in December 2007.
