The Holman Prize Committee • Holman Prize

Our inaugural panel of Holman Prize judges came together at LightHouse headquarters in June 2017 to choose three winners from a pool of more than 200 ambitious and adventurous blind candidates. In 2018, the committee will convene a second time, with some new members, to decide on the next three blind prizewinners. Encompassing a wide range of expertise including astrophysics, psychology, accessible tech, national politics, education and more, our international committee members – virtually all of whom are themselves blind – embody the spirit of James Holman, our finalists and the LightHouse for the Blind’s overarching mission.
