How it works
Project 10100 (pronounced "Project 10 to the 100th") is a call for ideas to change the world by helping
as many people as possible. Here's how to join in.
1. Send Google your idea by October 20th.
Simply fill out the submission form giving us the gist of your idea. You can supplement
your proposal with a 30-second video.
2. Voting on ideas begins on January 27th.
Google will post a selection of one hundred ideas and ask you, the public, to
choose twenty semi-finalists. Then an advisory board will select up to
five final ideas. Send me a reminder to vote.
3. Google will help bring these ideas to life.
Google are committing $10 million to implement these projects, and our goal
is to help as many people as possible. So remember, money may provide a
jumpstart, but the idea is the thing.
Good luck, and may those who help the most win.
