Our Voice Our Country's user-friendly, interactive and
non-partisan competitions invite college students from
across America to articulate what they believe to be an
urgent national problem, and to identify experts in the field
with achievable solutions. These accessible competitions
put your students' entries before a national audience,
eligible to become a People's Resolution, which would be
delivered to Congress for action, when we start our full process
in 2010.

Our first competition, held this past summer garnered
563 entries from all across America.
Winner Kelsey Price, a freshman at University of Utah
identified the FATA Region of Pakistan as her /Topic/;
and she proposed Hassan Abbas, a former police chief
from that region (now a fellow at Harvard's Kennedy
School of Government and Asia Society) as her
/ProblemSolver./

The story of the winning entry, including Dr. Abbas'
10 point plan to resolve conflict in the FATA region was
picked up by AP, featured in several newspapers, TV news,
on international blogs and online news pages. Honorable
Mention in the Summer competition went to Kelly Novinski at
Florida Atlantic Univeristy, who identified Wetland Preservation
as an urgent national issue.

Videos about their experience, posted by Kelsey and Kelly can
be viewed at the website.
