Since 1996, The BR!CK Awards have honored the nation’s finest young world-changers. Winners represent the best in their field or issue and are rewarded with a huge community grant and a special televised award ceremony. Know how athletes have the Olympics and singers have the Grammy’s? It’s about time world-changers have their special night too.

Instead of asking “who are you wearing?” the show asks “what are you doing?” Celebrities are included as presenters, not honorees. Former winners include a homeless teenager-turned lawyer who sued New York City for failing to provide adequate supp...
