Win $5,000 for publicizing the East African crisis

GOOD is offering $5,000 for the best proposal that spreads local public awareness about the catastrophic famine, war and drought situation in the Horn of Africa. This is in response to the survey result that 52% of Americans are unaware of the situation. You have to be a resident of the US to be eligible, but if you're outside the country and can make contact with someone inside it, presumably you can forge a collaboration. Entries are  due November 28, after which the public will vote. This is such a cool opportunity that I'm not going to tarnish it by saying anything snarky. 


Effort involved: pretty extensive if you win, actually, as you'll actually have to put your proposal into action. But that's the exciting part.
