Better World Awards
Deadline: March 30, 2007
ReZoom.com is awarding over $200,000 to more than 20 charities across the nation. They are accepting nominations of charities making a difference in their communities and throughout the world, who inspire others to get involved.
Once the submission process is complete, individuals will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite, most inspirational charities. Finalists will include 5 charities selected at large plus the 10 charities with the most votes from each of 20 regions. From these finalists, regional winners will be selected by an independent panel of judges. Regional awards are in the amount of $5,000 each. All award winners at the regional level will qualify for the national award. Regional voting period runs March 1, 2007 through March 31, 2007.
Then, the nation will have the opportunity to vote for the one charity from the 20 regional winners that has taken the greatest leadership role in creating A Better World. The charity with the most votes will receive the $100,000 national award. A representative of that charity will receive a trip to the awards presentation.
