Cash for best business or farming idea for grabs

“Your idea may be as short as a paragraph, or as long as 20 pages or more,” Mattessich said.

In August, the top prizes went to West Africa, with the highest cash prize going to a Nigerian’s telecommunications project, while third place went to a Ghanaian who runs a Soybean business.

The second round entries should be in by September 15 to qualify for this month, and an entrant can encourage their friends to vote for his or her idea.

Kenyans may have missed two weeks to send in their project ideas, but those with brilliant ideas can send them by logging to the ARC website. The group is also accessible from social networking site, Facebook.
