Are you using technology to help parents and children to gain the skills they need to succeed in the 21st century? Apply for the Verizon Tech Savvy Awards!

The awards recognize and support sustainable programs that help parents bridge the widening gap between adults' and children's understanding of technology. These two generations must learn about technology together so parents can be effective teachers and advocates to ensure that their children are literate in technology and prepared for the 21st century workforce.

There's some great incentive to enter - four $5,000 regional awards and one $25,000 national award to further the innovation! The awards will be presented at the 2009 National Conference on Family Literacy on March 2, 2009, in Orlando, Florida.

Good luck!
