We're sponsoring Ruckus Nation, an online idea competition that challenges participants to imagine innovative products that will increase physical activity among kids ages 11 to 14. To date, hundreds of people from around the world have registered to compete in Ruckus Nation, with teams representing 63 countries and all 50 U.S. states. Now, we’re inviting you and others to serve as judges and help select winners. Ruckus Nation winners may see their ideas come to life: The best product ideas will be prototyped, tested, and broadly distributed to young people. In addition, HopeLab will award more than $300,000 in cash and prizes for winning ideas. We're looking for people to spot the winning ideas by participating as judges. Judging is an online process that takes place in early December 2007.
