The Do Something Awards have worked to empower and recognize some of the most outstanding young and up-incoming world-changers we know. Last year, the Do Something Awards became the first non-celebrity category of the Teen Choice Awards, which contained 9 final nominees. Each of the 9 nominees received $10,000 for their project and the winner, 19-year old Chad Bullock won $100,000.
This year, 5 winners will receive a minimum of $10,000 in community grants and scholarships, and one will be selected as the grand prize winner, receiving $100,000 in community grants, that can be donated to a non-profit of the winner’s choice.
Deadline: See if you qualify, and apply by March 1, 2009
Eligibility: Applicants must be 25 or younger, and be a U.S. or Canadian citizen.
