Nominate an innovator for the Tech Awards

Each year, the Tech Museum of Innovation honors 25 innovators who are applying technology to benefit humanity through the Tech Awards program. The program honors 5 Laureates in each of the award categories — Health, Education, Environment, Economic Development, and Equality — and selects one Laureate in each category to receive a $50,000 prize. Candidates may be individuals, non-profit organizations, or for-profit organizations, and past Laureates have included innovative organizations such as DonorsChoose.org and KickStart, as well as some Acumen Fund investees such as International Development Enterprises-International (IDE).

The nomination period for 2009 is now open, and submitting a nomination only takes a few minutes. So, if you know someone who might be deserving of the award, consider making a nomination.
