From 2019 California Mother of the Year, Susan Tatsui-D'Arcy:

"I'm looking for a mom who can share an idea worth spreading.  It can't be political or religious, but it can be about any unique or interesting idea that other people may be interested in. They have 8-12 minutes to give their speech. It will be in a beautiful theater and they'll have lapel microphones.  The video will go up on TED about 3-4 months after the event. 

There is no cost but we do ask that they purchase 20 tickets (per speaker) to fill the auditorium and help pay for the expenses for the event.  Tickets are $15 each.  For those traveling to Santa Cruz, we can give the tickets to students or others as long as the speaker purchases the tickets."
