Howdy class! Dr. So posted on the "Announcements" section of our course Blackboard about the Dell Social Innovation Competition. I also wanted to let you know about a more local contest, in the area of water and global health.
The UNC Water Institute, an academic entity devoted to innovation in water use and global health, is hosting a 2011 Art Contest. I have copied the contest ad below. If you are the artistic type, think about giving it a shot!

Winners will also receive formal recognition at the Water and Health Conference 2011, where the winning works will be exhibited. The competition will run until March 4, 2011 (and will be judged by the end of the semester). Prizes generously contributed by Dr. Stephen Morse.
