The Charles Bronfman Prize Announces Call for Nominations For $100'000 Humanitarian Award

NEW YORK, NY (ots)

The Charles Bronfman Prize announced that it
is now accepting nominations for a new $100'000 Humanitarian Award.
The Prize, created by the children of Charles Bronfman, celebrates
the vision and talent of individuals whose accomplishments on behalf
of others enrich Jewish life. The Prize honors those who inspire the
emerging generation of Jewish people through the excellence of their
achievements.
The Prize is accepting nominations from around the world on behalf
of individuals or a team of individuals under 50 years of age. The
nominations process officially opened June 24 and closes October 20,
2003. The Award for this inaugural year will be presented in Spring
2004.
In a statement, the founders said, "Our father has inspired his
family as well as the Jewish world, always to seek new ways to serve
the Jewish communities and to interpret and redefine Jewish life in
modern society. We believe that now is the time to bring public
recognition to young, vigorous leaders of Jewish life. As the Jewish
world faces unprecedented challenges and opportunities, The Charles
Bronfman Prize is poised to be a unique vehicle for reaffirming
essential Jewish values."
The Prize was conceived in honor of Charles Bronfman's 70th
birthday. To ensure the broadest number of qualified nominees, the
founders have restyled the original concept to include a formal call
for nominations. "There may be many qualified candidates who, without
the open call for nominations, would not be on our radar screen,"
said the founders.
