Help Choose the Winner of the Booz Allen Aspen Ideas Award!

For the second year in a row, Booz Allen Hamilton has partnered with the Aspen Institute to design and host the Booz Allen Aspen Ideas Award, bringing the best ideas from the Aspen community of Festival Scholars and Presenters to life.  To date, more than 80 ideas have been submitted for this year’s Ideas Festival. Each of the ideas is designed to improve communities—either global or local—by addressing a variety of concerns around health, crime, diversity, connectivity and more. Finalists for the award will pitch their idea live at the Aspen Ideas Festival for an opportunity to win one of three $25,000 awards. 

We invite you to participate!
Through the Booz Allen Aspen Ideas Award site, individuals across the globe can register and vote for their favorite ideas now through May 23, leave comments to make ideas stronger through August 31, and volunteer to be a mentor.  In addition, beginning June 24 the top ideas will also be eligible to receive funding from the crowd through the site. To join in the conversation and cast your vote, create an account and begin!

"We're excited to partner with the Aspen Institute for this year's named Booz Allen Aspen Ideas Award – this year will be even bigger and better," said Booz Allen Senior Associate Kurt Scherer.  "We're looking forward to integrating a number of new ways to engage with the Aspen Ideas Festival Community."
