We received a ton of amazing submissions for our project with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation asking you for potential TEDxChange lineups. There are lot of interesting people out there, and we wish we could hear about all of them. We've selected the five most exciting submissions, which you can see here—everything from cookstoves in the developing world to beat poetry. We would like to thank everyone who submitted, this was a hard choice. We'll be announcing the winner—who will win an exclusive log in to the 2011 TED broadcast—next week.
