Are you a genius, or do you know one? OZY is partnering with Chevrolet to present the latest installment of the OZY Genius Awards. Ten college students will be selected to receive grants of up to $10,000 to help them pursue their dreams. The contest launches today, and applications can be submitted through April 30, 2021. If you have a big idea you want OZY to get behind or you know a student you want to nominate, now’s the time.
We all could use some help turning our dreams into reality. With the OZY Genius Awards — which first launched in 2016 — your big idea could win you $10,000 and a mentor who will help launch your project and change the world. We have a fantastic field of experts judging this year’s entries, from TV host Padma Lakshmi to investor Marc Lasry to activist and former NBA star Jalen Rose. Plus, you’ll be joining a distinguished group of winners already making their mark in a variety of fields.
OZY has a knack for identifying talent long before anyone else: Before you witnessed Amanda Gorman’s genius delivery of a powerful poem onstage at the 2021 presidential inauguration, she was an OZY Genius Award winner. Now it’s your turn!
