Netsquared, the online community whose mission is to “to spur responsible adoption of social web tools by social benefit organizations,” hosts discussions, gatherings and — most important — a yearly conference for non-profits, techies, social entrepreneurs, and others interested in social change. Now, over 150 non-profits have submitted proposals to compete for the first annual NetSquared Innovation Awards. The NetSquared Technology Innovation Fund is allocating a minimum of $100,000 to “Featured Projects,” which are selected by the NetSquared community (you). NetSquared is asking you to vote for your 10 favorites, and the top projects will be awarded money from the Technology Innovation Fund.

There are so many projects and so many good ideas it’s almost impossible to pick out the “best” ones, but For a complete list of projects, download this PDF of the N2Y2 Voter Booklet to take a look at all of the submissions.

A quick glance at the submitted projects confirms that there is some amazing, amazing work being done all over the world to use the social web to effect social change. While some of the submitted the projects are more robust than others, they all share the common goal of using new technologies to connect people and advocate for issues.

Voting ends tomorrow, so take a look at the proposals and cast your vote!
