Tech Museum Awards to Honor Technology Benefiting Humanity
Deadline: March 26, 2007 (Nominations)

The Tech Museum Awards (<a href="http://www.techawards.org/">http://www.techawards.org/</a>) is an international awards program that honors innovators from around the world who are applying technology to benefit humanity.

The Tech Awards program is designed to inspire global engagement in applying technology to humanity’s most pressing problems by recognizing the best of those who are utilizing innovative technology solutions to address the most urgent critical issues facing our planet.

Each year, candidates are nominated and then invited to submit applications. Individuals, for-profit companies, and nonprofit organizations are eligible. International panels of judges review the applications and annually select 25 laureates. Awards are presented in five categories: Health, Education, Environment, Economic Development, and Equality. Five laureates in each category are honored and one laureate per category receives $50,000. Laureates are honored at an annual gala event and inducted into the Tech Laureate Venture Network. The goal of the TLVN is to create opportunities for learning, networking, and exposure to assist the laureates in furthering their work.
