The contest covers such categories as women, children, education, health care and environment. Organizers include FPT, Community Association and the website Vicongdong.
According to the organizing committee, the contest title was originated from the idea “Humanity is the everlasting seed of life”, with hope to raise the community’s enthusiasm for charity. Since the contest is held online, the posted projects can be updated and revised till the deadline for the best final version.
After the contest’s primary round ending on November 30, 10 best projects as voted by internet users will be selected for the second round. Final results will be announced within the 3rd week of December, with total awarding amount up to USD 10,000. The awarding money should be spent on implementation of the winning projects.
The second contest is expected to be held in early 2009 with total award of USD 15,000.
To support the contest, Visky technology team (under FPT Corp) introduced a website at www.vicongdong.vn based on web 2.0, aiming to create a forum where the community can contribute and manage the content by themselves. Forum members can post news, projects, comments, votes, and register as a volunteer for projects. The Visky team hopes the website and the contest will become a popular address for organizations, groups and individuals who’re interested in community activities.
