TED is conducting two global idea polls in 2021 with one mission: to hear big, bold ideas from every corner of the world. A select group of people from each application pool will be invited to give TED talks, either virtually or in person.

Ted Global Idea Search 2021 is now open

Applicants are required to create a 2-minute video as part of their submission. The deadline for this round of applications is 21 January 2021 (11:59pm EST).

If selected for Round 2, you'll be invited to a virtual event where you'll talk more about your idea and take part in a Q&A with members of the TED community.

The winners will be invited to give a TED Talk, either virtually or in person.
