Youth Competition

In Cooperation with The Unit for Science Oriented Youth Jaime and Joan Constantiner School for Education Tel Aviv University
	The DAN DAVID PRIZE annually awards 3 prizes of US$ 1 million each to individuals or institutions for achievements having an outstanding scientific, technological, cultural, social or economic impact on our world. Each year fields are chosen within the three Time Dimensions - Past, Present and Future. The laureates for a given year are chosen from these fields. The Dan David Prize, in conjunction with the Unit for Science Oriented Youth at Tel Aviv University has initiated the "Name Your Hero" Essay Competition for High School Youth throughout Israel. High school students are encouraged to make a difference and present their choice of candidate and/or suggestions for fields, to the mutual benefit of the Dan David Prize and the students; the fields selected for a given year are influenced by the students' input and the students' scholarship and creative writing skills are advanced.

High School students are invited to take part in the selection of the fields in which the prizes will be bestowed! If you are in the 9th - 12th grades, are imaginative and want to make a difference, you are invited to participate in Dan David Prize High School Youth Competition and present your ideas for the fields and/or the candidates for the Dan David Prize.
