Pepsi Refresh Project - Win Money for Submitting Great Ideas!

Pepsi Refresh Project
At RefreshEverything.com, "Pepsiis giving away millions each month to fund refreshing ideas that change the world," according to PepsiCo.
Anyone is welcome to submit an idea. And anyone can vote on the ideas too. Pepsi is accepting 1000 ideas each month, and they are giving grants away to whichever idea wins. Their site says, "We're looking for people, businesses, and non-profits with ideas that will have a positive impact. Look around your community and think about how you want to change it.
Only good can come of this, I think!
EACH MONTH, PEPSI Co. PROMISES

* 32 potential grand recipients
* As much as $1.3 million will be rewarded.
* $250,000 - two grants
* $50,000 - ten grants
* $25,000 - ten grants
* $5,000 - ten grants
The results will be posted at the beginning of each month, about 2 weeks after the voting ends. If your idea wins a great, you will be emailed.
PepsiCo says your grant will be sent to you within a quick four weeks, if you win.
I hope this works out as fabulously as it sounds like it will. You have to wonder if Pepsi will be checking up on the people to whom they give grant money. But if a lot of people get the money they need to fund a lot of great ideas - well that's a great idea right there.
