> @@@ Purpose of the Award and General Guidelines
> IGLHRC awards three prizes that will honor individuals and/or
> organizations that have made significant contributions toward
> securing the human rights and freedoms of sexual minorities anywhere
> in the world. Award recipients will be honored at an annual
> springtime event in the US. Through this award, we hope to offer
> public recognition to a wide array of individuals and organizations
> who have had to work without support in the struggle for the human
> rights of sexual minorities. To this end, we seek nominations from
> all regions of the world, from those utilizing various political
> strategies, and from as wide a range of communities as possible. We
> define sexual minorities to include lesbians, bisexuals, gay men,
> transvestites, transsexuals, and others oppressed due to their sexual
> orientation or sexual conduct between consenting adults.
