The Gleitsman Foundation invites nominations for the 2007 International Activist Award, which honours exceptional individuals whose vision and courage inspire others to join with them in confronting and challenging injustice. The 2007 International Activist Award will honour those who have struggled to correct social injustice worldwide (excluding the United States which is the focus of the Citizen Activist Award in alternate years).

The award is not presented posthumously, nor is it given to groups or organisations.

Award winners will share US$100,000 and receive a specially commissioned sculpture designed by Maya Lin, creator of the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, DC, United States.
