All applicants must submit this form by 10:00 PM on February 9, 2024 (no exceptions). This form includes a section where you submit a video pitch that is no longer than 1 minute that describes why you want to be a speaker at TEDxPhillipsAcademy. There are lengthy questions that you need to answer when completing this form. Please review and read through the form ahead of time. 

Before you Submit

  • All applicants are strongly encouraged to attend the OWHL TEDx Open House to learn more about TEDx talks. This open house takes place on 2/2/24 during Protected Time. If you cannot make it, please reach out directly to Mr. Curtis, Mr. Denby, or Ms. Torres Hoven for advice on your application. 
  • Please note that TEDx talks should not have a commercial agenda, do not contain political agendas or propaganda, are not religious, and do not contain bad science. Make sure you are following the TEDx Content Guidelines so that you are not disqualified. 

Accepted Applicants

  • All accepted applicants will be required to attend several meetings, workshops, and rehearsals in preparation for their TEDx talk. This is not to scare you away from applying. However, the organizing team would like you to understand the time commitment involved before you apply.
  • All applicants will need to obtain permission from their parent or guardian to participate.

If you have any questions on the above information, please reach out to ctorreshoven@andover.edu.
