Hello there. I have a question for you. Have you ever wanted to give a TED talk? A TED talk on the main TED stage in Vancouver with three giant screens behind you and with 1,200 of the world's most interesting people in an arena in front of you. It's the most amazing experience. And you have a chance to do exactly that because this year we are holding a global audition for the best new ideas in the world to bring to that TED main stage. We're going to be holding audition events with our TEDex partners in nine different cities across six continents. And everyone in the world who's got something interesting and important to say is invited. Now then, here's what we're not looking for. We're not looking for clichéed sounding TED talks, self-help, earnest intreaties for people to do better. No, no, no. We want something unique and different and surprising. Have you maybe invented something? Do you know someone who has who's been working on something amazing that the world should know about but doesn't yet? Or maybe you're really angry at something and you can articulate that in a way that will energize people and give them something to do about it. Or maybe you're a brilliant creative or you know someone who is who's just done gorgeous work that deserves more visibility. Maybe you've invented the coolest, most powerful, most compelling internet meme that just deserves wider visibility. surprise us. We're looking for something that's different, that is not cliched, that is uniquely and authentically you. This link along with this video will show you where you can go to apply. Uh it could be the start of an amazing amazing journey. I hope you'll think about this and take it seriously and I hope to see you on a stage really soon. Good luck.
