It inspires the TED community, and all those who hear about the wish, to offer their help in making the wish come true.<br \/>\nThree winners are chosen each year. They could be anyone with worldchanging potential: inventors or entrepreneurs, designers or artists, visionaries or mavericks, story-tellers or persuaders. But they must be people who the judges believe have the ability to inspire others to do something great for the world.<br \/>\nOur new winners will announce their wishes at TED2008 in Monterey, on February 28, 2008, and their presentations will be released online to the world shortly afterward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>See the video announcement here.
