Your Country Your Call Announces Winning Ideas
Posted by Janelle Noble at 6:17 AM, September 20, 2010 Ireland's open government WebStorm, Your Country Your Call (YCYC), announced its two winning proposals. The campaign, which ran for about two and a half months between February and April, aims to bolster Irelands economy and safeguard its future wellbeing. The first winner is Neil Leyden who proposed creating an "Irish Content Industry Association" to attract global content industries and make Ireland a global center for digital content.
The other winning proposal was submitted by Cianán Clancy and Colm MacFhlannachadha who will implement what they're calling 'The Data Island Strategy,' a plan that will also focus on global digital services.
Each winner will be awarded a prize of €100,000 and another €500,000 grant for implementation of their proposal. The winners beat three other finalists: Brody Sweeney's proposal to create an Irish tourism/cuisine "Superbrand," Gordan Hyland's plan to create a property-based financial securities market and Peter Enda Kavanagh's proposal to install large-scale solar photovoltaic panels on existing Irish wind-farms.
