TED (conference)

==TED Prize==
The TED Prize was introduced in 2005. Until 2010, $100,000 was given annually to three individuals with a "wish to change the world".<ref>{{cite web|first=Bruno|last=Giussani|author-link=Bruno Giussani|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bruno-giussani/ted-2008-day-2-dave-egger_b_89106.html|title=TED 2008 / Day 2: Dave Eggers and Tutoring, Neil Turok and the next African Einstein, Karen Armstrong and the Charter for Compassion {{!}} February 28, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160216205826/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bruno-giussani/ted-2008-day-2-dave-egger_b_89106.html|archive-date=February 16, 2016|website=[[Huffington Post]]|date=August 15, 2011}}</ref> Each winner unveiled their wish at the main annual conference. Since 2010, a single winner has been chosen to ensure that TED can maximize its efforts in achieving the winner's wish.

In 2013, the prize amount was increased to $1 million.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tedprize.org/|title=TED Prize {{!}} Participate {{!}} TED|website=tedprize.org|access-date=June 18, 2016}}</ref> TED Prize winners in previous years have been:
