The awards will be given out during late 2010. Awardees will be flown to the USA for an inspirational evening that
honors the vision and courage of slavery survivors, community-based organizations bringing slaves to freedom, individual
leaders, young adult activists and communicators spreading the word about slavery.
All nominations must be received by midnight GMT on November 2, 2009. Late nominations will not be considered for the 2010 awards.
One award will be given to an individual who has survived a form of slavery and is now using his or her life in
freedom to help others exercise the purpose of their lives. The award is named the
Frederick Douglass Award.
The recipient will receive:
• $10,000 for training and capacity building to continue and expand their work.
• $10,000 to be awarded over two years, and used as he or she sees fit.
