Deadline: 15 June 2018
Henley & Partners is seeking nominations for the Global Citizen Award 2018.
Once a year, Henley & Partners honors an inspirational global citizen. The award is a tribute to remarkable individuals who work towards improving the global community, and whose actions contribute to a more just, peaceful, and tolerant world.
The committee looks for an inspirational individual who demonstrates extraordinary vision, courage, and commitment in contributing to the advancement of a significant and pressing global issue. ‘Global issues’ are defined by the UN as issues that transcend national boundaries and cannot be resolved by any one country acting alone.
Award Information
- The award itself consists of a bespoke sculptural medal, an award certificate signed by the Chairman of the Global Citizen Award® Committee, and a monetary prize. The monetary prize has increased this year to USD 30,000, which goes towards supporting the awardee’s humanitarian efforts.
- The 2018 laureate will be selected by a nine-member committee and honored at the Global Citizen Awards® ceremony, which will mark the conclusion of the annual Henley & Partners Global Residence and Citizenship Conference — held this year in Dubai from 4 to 6 November.
Eligibility Criteria
The Global Citizen Award® is open to those working in a field with a direct link to the issues they are looking to affect and excludes political figures, opinion leaders, and celebrities. The awardee’s work should not remain purely academic: it needs to demonstrate a positive impact on the lives of vulnerable social groups.
