Here’s the 10 Illinois’ nonprofits selected to participate in the Chicago Webchallenge

Today we announced the nonprofit organizations selected for the The Nerdery’s Chicago Overnight Website Challenge, debuting the weekend of August 20-21. The chosen nonprofits:

• A Safe Haven Foundation
• Crossroads Adoption Services
• Hemophilia Foundation of Illinois
• Institutio Del Progresso Latino
• Kids Have Hope
• Midwest Young Artists
• Near Northwest Arts Council
• Northwestern Settlement
• Peace Care

These lucky nonprofits will receive nerdy deeds done dirt-cheap from these teams of volunteer web pros:

• Chamois Butter for Lunch
• Chicago on Rails
• Cloudbot (and Friends)
• Drop Shadows Not Bombs
• Drupal Rocks
• Greater Pixel Consortium

Competing nonprofits articulated how they’d direct teams of 8-10 web pros to further their mission online. Selection judges also considered organizational need and online testimonials from people most intimately involved with the organizations. Comprised of leaders from the nonprofit and interactive communities, this independent panel of selection judges assessed applications from eligible nonprofits; they’ll also pick the top development team at The Nerdery’s all-nighter. Ladies and gentlemen, your judges:

• Melanie Adcock, assistant editor of The May Report and tech blogger
• Joshua Brown, Program Manager, Taproot Foundation
• Randy Dill, founder and CEO, Chicago Non-Profit
• Cynthia Putnam, Professor, College of Computing & Digital Media at DePaul University
