Your Country, Your Call finalists put through paces

THE two winning proposals in the Your Country, Your Call competition will be announced this evening after the five finalists were put through their paces by the judging panel yesterday.

The final five – who made it to the penultimate stage after the competition received some 9,000 entries – each had an hour with the seven-strong judging panel at the Aviva stadium in Dublin.

They were charged with outlining all the details of how their projects would work if they succeed in winning the final two slots in the competition, and with it the chance to see their project implemented with a €500,000 fund.
