[PDFlist] FW: 2022 Holman Prize for Blind Ambition: Applications are now open

[Martine]

Hi all, See this wonderful opportunity below, FYI and distribution.

Martine

Martine Abel-Williamson - World Blind Union president

 

 

 

LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired is pleased to announce
applications for the annual Holman Prize for Blind Ambition for 2022 are now
open!

 

Now in it's sixth year, the Holman Prize for Blind Ambition annually awards
three blind people from anywhere in the world, up to $25,000 each to carry
out an incredible idea that will involve personal growth and shatter
misconceptions about blindness.

 

The Holman Prize is named for James Holman, a blind 19th century explorer
who is the most prolific private traveler of anyone, blind or sighted,
before the era of modern transportation. The only qualifications to submit
an application to win a Holman Prize are that you must be blind or legally
blind, be 18 years old by October 1, 2022 and speak English. When
applications open on January 21, all you have to do is make a 90-second
video pitching your idea and upload it to YouTube, and fill out the
application form on the Holman Prize website.

 

But if you're not quite ready to upload your 90-second YouTube pitch and
fill out the application, there's no need to worry:

Applications close on March 20 at 11:59 pm Pacific.

 

The full announcement, links and practical information are available on this
news page from WBU Website:
