Harvard Kennedy School's Center for Public Leadership is seeking out the next winner of its Gleitsman International Activist Award. Nominate individuals you believe have initiated great social change in their communities or countries. The deadline for nominations is 30 June 2011.

The award will be given in the fall of 2011 and includes a $125,000 prize and a specially commissioned sculpture designed by Maya Lin, the creator of the Vietnam War Memorial. Past honorees include Nelson Mandela, Muhammad Yunus, and, most recently, Karen Tse, founder of International Bridges to Justice.

Please note that the award is not presented posthumously, nor is it granted to groups or organisations. Self nominations cannot be considered.
