The American Mensa Hall of Fame honors individuals who have demonstrated their genius through remarkable vision and accomplishments. Members of the Hall of Fame have given us new insights, opened up new horizons, or given us a whole new way of looking at our world. By acknowledging genius, American Mensa seeks to encourage others to be creative and innovative in their thoughts and actions.

The list of nominees will be given to a panel of judges that includes the Development Officer and a representative from each region. The panel will decide which nominees will be named to the Mensa Hall of Fame during the Annual Gathering.
Please nominate people who you think are indisputable geniuses and who are no longer living. The American Mensa Hall of Fame is not open to fictional characters.
