Can winners and Fellows from a prior year apply again for the Prize? Are they given priority?
A. Winners of a $50,000 or $100,000 Purpose Prize are no longer eligible for a future prize. Past Fellows may reapply. Q. I would like to nominate someone who does similar work, has the same employer, or lives in the same city as a past Fellow or winner. Does this put my candidate at a disadvantage? A. No. All applications are evaluated on merit alone. Having the same or similar issue, geographic region or even the same employer as a previous winner will not count against you or your nominee. Top ^ Nomination and Selection Process Q: When do nominations reopen? A: The nomination season for the 2010 Purpose Prize began on March 10, 2009.
