SOLIDAR Silver Rose Awards 2013 Nomination Form

2. Guidelines for nominations
Who can make a nomination?
Everyone is welcome to make a nomination, especially member organisations or
other organisations and individuals who actively support SOLIDAR's work.
Who can be nominated?
Individuals and organisations whose outstanding work is fuelled by vision and tireless
commitment and whose achievements have contributed greatly to the struggle for more social
justice and equality, and who are in line or linked with the values shared within the SOLIDAR
network.
Preference will be given to individuals or organisations working at local or national level in
one or more of the following fields:
- Campaigning for social justice, democracy and human rights. This could include
campaigns for trade union rights, free speech, or freedom for the media. It could also
include campaigns for improved social conditions.
- Establishing hands-on projects to improve the conditions of minorities or
disadvantaged people. This could include: projects which promote peace and
reconciliation in troubled areas; projects which focus on training, employment, cultural
activities, housing or the provision of social services; projects which promote improved
access to information.
Decisions will be made based on the level of synergy that the individual or organisation’s
work has with SOLIDAR’s work. You can see our current activities on our website
(www.solidar.org).
