" Our first place video for 2012 was by Columbus, Ohio based Dave Thomas Foundation. TechSoup has been running international video and photo competitions for some years now. In previous years, we called it our Digital Storytelling Challenge. This year we renamed it Storymakers and it starts on August 26, 2014. Any charity anywhere in the world can send us a short video or five-picture Flickr slideshow that tells about their work and will be entered to win some cash prizes.

You may not think of Columbus as the next Silicon Valley, but there are a lot of energetic tech startups and entrepreneurs there who are ready to convince you.
