Civic Ventures has opened nominations for the 2008 Purpose Prize. The Prize provides five $100,000 and 10 $10,000 awards to U.S. residents over 60 who are creating innovation solutions to address society's most pressing problems – domestically and abroad.

They are looking for adults in the second half of life who are combining their creativity and experience to tackle some of the world's biggest challenges. Innovators like Phil Borges, who is using technology to expand cultural understanding among students worldwide, took prizes in 2007.

Now's the time to nominate someone you know over 60 who is changing the world! Civic Ventures is accepting nominations, including self-nominations at www.PurposePrize.org until March 1.
