On the line was a top prize of $360,000.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPeople told me my idea was impossible for years,\u201d he said of his nonprofit, which provides children in Afghanistan, Cambodia, and South Africa with schools and skate parks. \u201cFor me, it made sense. I saw the smile on the kids\u2019 faces.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After his high-stakes pitch, a panel of judges asked why skateboarding appeals to kids in unstable countries. \u201cIt\u2019s challenging,\u201d he answered. \u201cYou fall down and have to get back up again. Afghanis know hardship.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With his innovative approach to empowering the next generation of leaders, Percovich took home the top prize at the<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/creatorawards.wework.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creator Awards<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the fifth one hosted by<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WeWork<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> this year. For the Berlin edition, more than 1,100 gathered at Motorwerk Berlin, an engine factory turned club turned event space. Over the course of the evening, WeWork gave out more than $1 million to innovative projects and the creators behind them.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking at the start of the night, WeWork cofounder Miguel McKelvey acknowledged how even embracing the title of \u201ccreator\u201d can be hard for those working on their own projects that deviate from the typical idea of a startup.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe Creator Awards are about trying to uncover people who don\u2019t fit into the traditional systems of funding,\u201d McKelvey said. \u201cIt\u2019s OK to not be the next Facebook. What really counts is doing something that you care about.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before the ceremony, while the crowd noshed on Berlin bites like vegan curry wurst and locally brewed BRLO, many of the finalists\u2014Percovich included\u2014fought nerves as they got ready for the final pitches. For these entrepreneurs and artists, the prizes of $18,000 in the Incubate category, $72,000 to $130,000 in Launch, and $180,000 to $360,000 in Scale can make or break their ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Matthias Heskamp<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.radbahn.berlin\">Radbahn<\/a> said he and his team were on the brink of going back to their day jobs. \u201cWe almost couldn\u2019t survive anymore,\u201d he said. While the team of eight had received great media attention for their plan to turn the overpasses of Berlin\u2019s elevated S-train into sheltered paths for bikes and pedestrians, they hadn\u2019t yet secured sufficient funding to keep themselves afloat. Now, with the $72,000 Launch prize, they\u2019ll be able to increase their focus on Radbahn, lobbying the local government and starting to unveil sections of the path.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The top winner in the Launch category, Sebastian J\u00fcnemann of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cadus.org\">Cadus<\/a>, is also thrilled that his team will now be able to build and deploy a second mobile hospital to areas deemed too risky by other aid organizations. \u201cEveryone said it wasn\u2019t possible to put a mobile hospital two kilometers from the front lines in Mosul,\u201d he said. \u201cWe showed them it <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">possible\u2026 and helped 300 people who would be dead now if we hadn\u2019t been there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the excitement of the pitches and prizes, no one topped the enthusiasm of the Community Giver Award recipient Nicola Metzger. The Berlin crowd roared for the petite but exuberant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/buildings\/sony-center--berlin\">WeWork Sony Center<\/a> member as she bounced up to the stage to accept the $18,000 award, grinning ear to ear.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/09\/Berlin-Creator-Awards-2-800x571.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28390\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When all the money was handed out, it was time for a proper Berlin DJ set. Legendary <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Italian producer<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Giorgio Moroder<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> threw on some of the disco classics he helped create, including the iconic \u201cLove to Love You Baby.\u201d The crowd stayed through to the last note at midnight, the dance floor strewn with confetti and business cards.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking ahead, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Percovich<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> said he knows exactly how he\u2019s going to use the Creator Awards prize money. Skateistan gets messages from similar programs on a weekly basis.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe\u2019re contacted almost every week by copycat programs from around the world looking for support,\u201d he said. \u201cWe see enormous potential in open sourcing all that we\u2019ve learned in 10 years. This will give us the ability to have an impact on 100 countries and get closer to our goal of creating hundreds of thousands of leaders to change the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/09\/Berlin-Creator-Awards-3-800x571.jpg\" alt=\"WeWork\" class=\"wp-image-28391\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Winners of the 2017 Berlin Creator Awards<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Scale<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skateistan (nonprofit) &#8211; $360,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hexlox (for profit) &#8211; $180,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Common Goal (nonprofit) &#8211; $180,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Launch<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cadus (nonprofit) &#8211; $130,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Radbahn (nonprofit) &#8211; $72,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sonic Geometry (artist) &#8211; $72,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Citizen&#8217;s Mark (for profit) &#8211; $72,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Institute for Sound &amp; Music (nonprofit) &#8211; $72,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Incubate<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>12 Minutes Me (nonprofit) &#8211; $18,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Atempo (for profit) &#8211; $18,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bikeee (for profit) &#8211; $18,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Framen (for profit) &#8211; $18,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gusto Jobs (for profit) &#8211; $18,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plumage (artist) &#8211; $18,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pydro (for profit) &#8211; $18,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Community Giver Award<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nicola Metzger<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the Creator Awards, WeWork is committing more than $20 million to innovative projects and the people behind them.
