A TED WISH: Photographic Dreams Coming True on Oct 3

The TED Prize is designed to leverage the TED community’s exceptional array of talent and resources. It is awarded annually to three exceptional individuals who each receive $100,000 and, much more important, the granting of “One Wish to Change the World.” After several months of preparation, they unveil their wish at an award ceremony held during the TED Conference. These wishes have led to collaborative initiatives with far-reaching impact.

This event will take place Oct 3rd (TBA) at 1) Jazz at Lincoln Center at Columbus Circle and 2) The Reuters Screen in Times Square. Click the link below for more info and watch the TED talk with incredible photos of war, survival and courage.

On October 3, the story breaks -- be a part of it!



James Nachtwey's TED Prize wish: "Help me use the power of photography to break a story that the world needs to know about."

The story breaks on October 3, when Nachtwey's powerful photographs of a growing world crisis will be published in Time magazine and shown on giant LED screens on all 7 continents -- from Times Square in New York to the British and Argentine bases on Antarctica.
