The Dazed 100 is back, but not as you know it. For 2020, we’ve partnered with Converse to spotlight not only 100 of the world’s most creative, outspoken, and passionate next-gen names, but also their creative and philanthropic ideas. Explore the list, and you’ll find 100 manifestos to create, inspire, connect, and power change. 

From musician Joy Crookes, who wants to set up a scholarship to give young people of South Asian descent creative mentorship, to model and YouTuber Ella Snyder, who hopes to work on a photobook and donate to the camp for transgender kids she attended growing up, the members of the 2020 Dazed 100 embody the change they want to see in their communities and beyond.

After the global impact of Covid-19, times are especially tough for the arts. With this in mind, Dazed and Converse have partnered to establish the Dazed 100 Ideas Fund, a £50,000 pot from which we’ll award grants to help turn these ideas into reality. No longer highlighting a single winner, we will use online audience votes to help choose which ideas gain our IRL support to bring them to life.

Explore the full 2020 Dazed 100 list, and get to know a few of the names making up this year’s generation below in our 2020 manifesto film. Spot any familiar faces?
