In 2008, Congolop, Inc. sponsored a scholarship contest.  People from all over the world submitted written and photographic narratives detailing a major problem or issue facing their local community.  The best entries were judged by a panel of Harvard professors, and the author of the top entry received a $500 scholarship.

Below are the top ten entries, including the winning entry titled "Room 10". For Congolop, Inc.'s current contest please go to www.WorldHealthProject.org.
