The digital world is a remarkable place, and not only because of the vast number of diverse voices and opinions it supports. It is a place full of vibrant ideas and communities around them. For example, Reddit can have millions of users and still be a counter-cultural site full of people who can find communities by subscribing to the things they care the most about, now matter how niche the subject matter. It's also a place where smaller contributions from many can empower real action. Kickstarter has raised hundreds of millions of dollars for projects that likely never would have become realities. Similarly, charitable acts have never been closer than a click away. Whether raising money for people in need through crowdfunding platforms, or helping people organize to do service work in the real world, it's never been easier to make a difference for someone you've never met before. But the digital world can also be a crowded place. Things can change, and fast. The state of the industry is that of flux, with things constantly moving forward. Mashable 's Innovation Index is a way to look back at the best of the digital world in the last year. To do so, we've selected 14 key influencers in a variety of categories who will curate the five most innovative companies, products or ideas in their category. But we know that this effort can't possibly cover the entire digital sphere. And that's where we want you to come in. There's room for your voice in the Innovation Index, so we're offering up one curator spot to a member of our community. What category is missing from our list? We want you to let us know what you think should be represented and why you should be the person to curate it. We'll pick one person to join the Innovation Index and help us recognize the best in digital in the past year. To enter, simply fill out the form below with your answers -- we'll announce the winner on November 26. We can't wait to see your responses, and look forward to choosing one of you to be part of Mashable's Innovation Index!
