To hit up the theme of “The Young. The Wise. The Undiscovered,” TED is hosting a 14-city global audition series. And guess which city is included?
From your online audition application—which includes video upload possibilities—TED will invite 30 of the best to the audition, where speakers will have 3-6 minutes to deliver a proposed talk in English.
These talks will be posted on TED.com, and the public invited to vote. Many of the 50 most popular selections will speak or perform at TED2013, with TED picking up your travel to, and accommodation in, Long Beach, California.
“Every TED conference weaves together a surprising mix of voices,” says TED director and talent search judge Kelly Stoetzel.
Does yours deserve to be in there?
