A celebration of creativity, courage and fresh ideas will take to the stage later this year.
TEDxChichester will take place in November and promises a day full of talks, stories and inspiration under the theme Courage and Curiosity to Create.
Organisers have now opened a call for local speakers to audition for a place on the TEDx stage.
Laura Pauley, curator of TEDxChichester, said: "Chichester has always been shaped by people who are brave enough to imagine something new.
"We’re looking for speakers who are ready to share the ideas that changed how they see the world.
"Whether you’re a first-time speaker or an experienced communicator, we want ideas that challenge thinking, spark curiosity and connect with audiences in an engaging and memorable way."
The event's theme invites speakers to explore what happens when bravery and imagination combine.
Talks may cover reinvention, leadership, community, science, storytelling, or the quiet acts of courage that shape everyday life.
Ellie Jayne Booth, co-curator, said: "I’ve lived and worked in Chichester my whole life, and I know just how much talent exists here. Often quietly, and often under the radar.
"TEDxChichester is about giving those voices the confidence and the platform they deserve."
Speakers will be selected through a two-stage process.
This includes an online video submission followed by an in-person audition for shortlisted applicants.
