Contests

This interactive map makes a great point: crowdsourcing contest winners are often found in contests. Is it that people in a certain community just like entering the contests? Or is it that to win you have to learn how to compete (scarcely a new idea in any competition).

Check out the map ... and your community. Maybe it's time to get the ball rolling.

According to Adrienne Caruso of Pepsi, "just about every month there's been a winner." Read the article here.

Chase Community Giving is one of the big crowdsourcing projects. Official rules here.
