Guerilla marketing as social activism
The TED prize is awarded annually to an exceptional individual who receives $100,000 and "One Wish to Change the World."
Currently pondering the earth-shaking possibilities is the newly announced 2011 Ted Prize winner, street artist JR. Anonymous by design, he creates guerilla works by plastering his giant portraits on Brazilian favelas and Kenyan villages. "JR embodies the many characteristics we look for in a winner: creativity, vision, leadership, and persuasion," wrote TED's Chris Anderson and Amy Novogratz in an e-mail explaining their rather uncoventional choice. "His photography is about unlocking the power of possibility, revealing our true selves to those who live around us, and sharing those stories far and wide."
