The LIVE UNITED Social Innovation prize, presented by Ernst & Young, is designed for change makers in Kentuckiana who are prepared to put their ideas into action. Prizes totaling $25,000 will be awarded to the innovators who gain the most support from the community.

That's right - it means it's up to YOU to vote on which innovations will win! You cast your vote by making a contribution in any amount up to a maximum of $250 from any individual donor through the innovation's ChipIn widget, displayed on the innovation's web page on this site:liveunitedyall.org/innovation<http://liveunitedyall.org/innovation>.

Metro United Way wants to encourage and support the work of 21st century innovators who achieve lasting social change through a new invention, a different approach, a more effective use of known technologies or strategies, or a combination of these.

The purpose of this competition is to attract social innovations and to highlight the benefits of innovative approaches to solving social problems.

A total of four prizes will be awarded: a grand prize of $10,000 and three $5000 prizes will be awarded to the four finalists who attract the most donations to their innovations. Prizes are for expenses directly related to the implementation of the innovation, and will help attract funding and other resources and support.
