This contest has ended on the 9th of October, 2011. The winner of the entrance ticket has been notified. Thanks to all inspiring participants for contributing with their ideas!
Boy, do we love ideas. We love spreading them even more. Nothing works better than having ideas flowing between people with interesting stories and a creative mind – that’s how we like to think of the crowd visiting our invite-only event. Now this is your chance to win a ticket to TEDxAmsterdam 2011 event on the 25th of November.

We want to hear about your best idea. Now don’t start pulling the hairs out of your head to come up with something no one on earth has ever thought of – the best ideas are simple and fit on a sticky note. So the first rule of this contest is:
- • great ideas have less than 140 words (if you fill out the form) or characters (if you tweet it)
Also, we are firm believers in the wisdom of the crowd. So assisting us in judging the ideas we can count on our Braintrust advisory board. Have you guessed the second rule?
- • our judgment is final
Oh, there’s a deadline. We will handpick 3 nominees on Monday 10 October. In the evening we will meet with our advisors who will vote for the one idea winning the ticket. The winner will be announced around 20.00 in Amsterdam.
- • enter before Sunday 9 October, 2011, 23:59 by filling out the form below or
- • enter before Sunday 9 October, 2011, 23:59 by sending a tweet starting with @tedxams
It’s that simple. All you need to do now is upload your idea below (or tweet it) and let us know how to reach you if your idea is one of 3 nominees to win the ticket. We are thrilled to find out about your ideas. Good luck!
