Want to attend SXSW? Doing amazing social good?

Here’s your chance! The SXSW Interactive Scholarship program recognizes individuals who are using innovative technology and new media to address significant community challenges. This program seeks nominees across all sectors and countries whose innovative, impactful work (whether as a career or avocational passion) helps others. Non-profit leaders, grassroots organizers, individual citizens, and civic-minded entrepreneurs are all eligible to win.

At SXSW, we believe that the strength of community comes from diversity of thought, gender, geography, and background. We strive to achieve this community-centric goal by utilizing a V-O-W-E-L scale of basic diversity principles.
