Nominations are now being accepted, with the prize of £5,000 to be awarded to an individual who has demonstrated remarkable leadership, creativity and results in developing philanthropy for progressive social change in an emerging market country or countries.

The prize will be for the individual winner to use at their discretion.

The final winner of the £5,000 prize will then be selected by a panel of international judges, to be announced shortly.
