It’s an awesome idea, but I bet someone will use this thing just to gain a Pro account.

Hi,
I just wondering, does this contest is open worldwide or is it exclusively to the USA ? I’m from Canada and I’m on Muscular Dystrophie Canada comittee (Local Division). It could be a great price to the foundation.

The same question as Philippe, is this contest worldwide?

Given the structure of the foundation that the funds are coming from, this contest is for US-based 501(c)3s only. That said, you can still enter and get the benefits of a free Pro account, and help spread the word for your organization to drive donations/action. You just won’t be eligible to win.
