Change the Web 2009 is a competition to inspire developers to create new tools that make it easy for people to find and share ways to create social change directly from websites and social networks. Developers will build applications that tap into a database of 20,000 social actions from 30 organizations, and $10,000 in cash prizes will be awarded to the best apps as judged by a panel and community votes. The competition is seeking developers, organizers, and volunteers and will take place in February 2009.
