Deadline: 31 May 2018
Nominations are currently open for the L’Oréal Paris Women of Worth Award to honor those who find beauty in giving back to their community.
This philanthropic program “Women of Worth” is to honor those who go above and beyond, selflessly volunteering their time to empower others. Each year, 10 extraordinary women are chosen from thousands of nominations and honored for the impact they’ve made across a variety of charitable causes.
The 2018 Women of Worth will be announced in November and join the alumnae community of 120 women they have honored throughout the past twelve years.
Benefit
Each Honoree will be awarded $10,000 to support her individual cause.
Eligibility Criteria
- Award nominees must be a woman, be legal residents of the 50 United States (excluding Puerto Rico) or the District of Columbia, be 16 years of age or older at the time of nomination and consent to be nominated.
- All award nominees will be judged by the following criteria:
- Community Needs, Innovative Solutions and Impact (70%)
- This refers to a nominee’s ability to meet a previously unmet community need or concern. Examples of community needs are providing food, shelter or access to health care; providing arts programming or activities; strengthening educational programs; or providing enrichment activities that benefit children.
- Innovation refers to the extent to which a nominee’s activities reflect an innovative or interesting approach to meeting community needs, as well as to the nominee’s employment of unique solutions to problems.
- Impact is defined as an activity’s positive effect on the community’s social fabric and/or on individuals’ or families’ well-being. Impact can be measured by evaluating the programs or activities that a nominee has implemented to determine whether the number of people those programs serve has exponentially increased since the nominee began her work.
- Extraordinary Passion (30%)
- This refers to the success of a nominee’s work in epitomizing the statement “Because applicants are Worth It” and exemplifying the spirit of the Women of Worth program (honoring exceptional women who make a difference through their volunteer work.) Judges will look at how nominee’s story and/or work inspire others to discover their power to make a difference.
