TED Prize: Dreaming bigger

The TED Prize is entering a new chapter. The amount awarded is now $1 million - granted to an inspiring wish proposed by an extraordinary individual. And that is just the start.

The Award

Why $1 million? To inspire dreamers to think bigger about what's possible. The award offers support to build a project's core infrastructure quickly -- so that others in the TED community can add their own collaborative action. Learn more >>

The Wish

Imagine an inspiring, high impact project you've dreamed of or heard of. An idea that needs the support of a global community to become real. Our winner will have an ambitious wish -- and the vision, pragmatism and leadership to turn it into reality. Learn more >>

The Process

Nomination happens two ways: Nominate yourself and make your wish. Or nominate someone else, and we'll ask them for their wish. The TED Prize committee will review all nominations and select the winner. Learn more >>
