EYES ON THE PRIZE

1297 applications. 119 countries. 81 semi-finalists.

Meet the top 6% of The Elevate Prize. From Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, these applicants are working on the world’s toughest issues: poverty, hunger, health, education, equality, clean water, justice, peace, sustainability, and climate action.

See who they are, give them some shine, and follow the journey as we go from 81 to 20 finalists on September 4.
