Deadline: March 31, 2014
Applicants are invited to nominate themselves or someone for The TED Prize which is awarded to an extraordinary individual with a creative and bold vision to spark global change. The winner of the 2015 TED Prize will be revealed when they announce their wish from the TED2015 stage in Vancouver, BC.
The Prize begins with a big wish—a wish to inspire thinkers and doers across the globe. The TED Prize has helped to combat poverty, take on religious intolerance, improve global health, tackle child obesity, advance education, and inspire art around the world.
