There are just four weeks to go until our call for ideas closes for Social Innovation Camp Scotland.

You’ve got until Friday 22nd May 2009 to send us your idea that uses the web to create social change and you could be joining 100 other participants to try and make it a reality.

And this week we’re really pleased to be able to announce some of our prizes for the weekend.

At the end of each Social Innovation Camp, we run a Show and Tell where everyone pitches what they’ve built in the weekend.

We’ll be awarding some prizes to the ideas we think have shown most promise. And this time around, we’re lucky enough to be supported by our partners Firstport, IfLooksCouldKill and O Street.

Last week, we were in Edinburgh and Glasgow explaining how Social Innovation Camp works, meeting some great people and rooting out promising ideas.

It was a packed couple of days: Edinburgh Web Design and Development Meetup on Wednesday, breakfast in Glasgow on the Thursday and back to Edinburgh for another breakfast (we like our early mornings) on the Friday.

We met some fantastic people: from Glaswegian developers and Edinburgh Girl Geeks to those working to create social change. Huge thanks to all the people who gave us their time - and let us hijack their events.

And we’re back again next week - this time in Dundee. We’ll be holding our own Meetup from 7pm on Wednesday 29th April and you can sign up to come along here.

Once again, if you’re running an event you think we should be at, or you reckon we should come and have a chat with the people you work with, or even if you’re a bunch of like-minded friends who are interested in getting involved, we’d love to hear from you - drop us a line.

Remember: our call for ideas runs until the 22nd May 2009. Send us your idea that uses the web to create social change and you could be joining 100 other Social Innovation Campers to try and make it a reality.
