HOLMAN PRIZE  - Lighthouse for the Blind

​Now in its second year, the Holman Prize was launched by LightHouse for
the Blind in San Francisco <http://lighthouse-sf.org/>  as a means of
enabling legally blind people from around the world to make their dreams a
reality, and to demonstrate to the public at large that in an accessible
world, blind

people are capable of doing anything that their sighted peers can do.

In our first year, we received over 200 applications from more than two

dozen countries, and our three winners, chosen by a panel of blind judges,

represent a wide spectrum of ambition and ingenuity.

<http://lighthouse-sf.org/blog/meet-ahmet-ustunel-blind-kaya
ker-and-holman-prizewinner/> Ahmet Ustunel is training to kayak Turkey’s
Bosphorus Strait,

completely solo;
<http://lighthouse-sf.org/blog/meet-penny-melville-brown-
blind-baker-and-holman-prizewinner/> Penny Melville-Brown is taking her
YouTube baking show to

six continents;
<http://lighthouse-sf.org/blog/meet-ojok-simon-blind-beekeep
er-and-holman-prizewinner/> Ojok Simon is teaching his fellow Ugandans to
become

self-sustaining beekeepers.

We can’t wait to hear from our next round of applicants, and we’d love your

help in spreading the word about the prize to your community and network,

particularly through your newsletter.

The initial application is a quirky one: each applicant will send us a 90

second YouTube video explaining, briefly, how they would put the prize money

to use. From there, a select group of semifinalists will submit in-depth

written proposals, and finalists will be interviewed by LightHouse staff.

You can read more about the Holman Prize in the

​Applications for the prize don’t open until January 16th at 5 PM PST, but
we are spreading the word early to give applicants as much time as possible
to prepare!​



We’d love to hear from you, and certainly don’t hesitate to reach out with

any questions you may have.
