LightHouse for the Blind and Visually
Impaired<https://lighthouse-sf.org/mc-events/changing-vision-changing-life-2
021-virtual-edition-2/?mc_id=10281> in San Francisco is pleased to announce
that applications are now open for the 2021 Holman Prize for Blind
Ambition<http://holmanprize.org/>.

The Holman Prize for Blind Ambition awards up to $25,000 each to three blind
people from around the world with incredible ideas that will shatter
misconceptions about blindness worldwide.

The Holman Prize is named after James Holman, a blind 19th century
explorer<https://holman.lighthouse-sf.org/who-is-james-holman/> who is the
most prolific private traveler of anyone, blind or sighted, before the era
of modern transportation.

To qualify for the Holman Prize you must be blind or legally blind and at
least 18 years old by October 1, 2021.

To apply, you will upload a video to YouTube that is 90 seconds or less with
your Holman Prize pitch and fill out an
application<http://holmanprize.org/apply>.

We know how different applications will need to be during this time of the
pandemic. While we recognize this will be a factor for the scope of some
peoples' ideas, we encourage you to think big and imagine your Holman plan
without taken the current constraints too much into consideration. We will
do everything we can if your idea is successful, to work with you and help
you make it happen. Don't let the pandemic blunt your ambition.

Applications close on March 14 at 11:59 pm Pacific. Check out our Holman
Prize frequently asked questions<https://holman.lighthouse-sf.org/faq/> and
if you don't find your answer there, email us at
holman at lighthouse-sf.org<mailto:holman at lighthouse-sf.org>.

We can't wait to watch your videos.

Sincerely,
The Holman Prize Team
LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired
