After President Obama's success with his recent healthcare reform bill and his slogan "Yes we Can", Irish President Mary McAleese wants ideas to kick start the economy and make a dramatic change to the country. It's called "Your country - your call" and the goal is to pick two truly revolutionary ideas that will create jobs and prosperity for Ireland. The two winning ideas will win $150,000 each and $850,000 to get their ideas off the ground.
Unemployment is high and government support is low in Ireland at the moment and they need fresh new ideas to make the country great. They know there is deep affection for Ireland amongst Irish Americans and are looking for their input as well as other Irish living around the world.
There are eight categories in the competition: Communications and Technology, Design, Engineering and Manufacturing, Education and the Arts, Energy and the Environment, Food and Agriculture, Health, Sport and Nutrition, Professional Services and Other.
Come on, do it for Ireland.
