Puffin Prize Nominations Are Now Open!
January 31, 2025
The Puffin Foundation and Type Media are pleased to announce that the 2024 nomination window is now open for the The Puffin Prize for Creative Citizenship, a $100,000 award given to an individual or organization that challenges the status quo through courageous, distinctive, and socially responsible work.
Nominations are due by Tuesday, February 18, 2025 via the online application “Submittable.” In order to make your nomination, please create an account, fill out your contact information and share with us who you would like to nominate, their breadth of work and your rationale for why your nominee deserves The Puffin Prize for Creative Citizenship recognition at this time.
The prize encourages recipients to continue and expand on their work. A strong candidate is someone who has either raised awareness of or significantly influenced major social issues in the past year. We consider candidates from all backgrounds and across various fields. Examples of past nominations we’ve received have been for individuals and organizations working in the areas of defending and expanding democracy, healthcare access, food justice and food sovereignty, police brutality, voting rights, and more. Candidates must be US citizens.
Other past winners have included Heather Booth, Dolores Huerta, the National Network of Abortion Funds, Colin Kaepernick, Amy Goodman, Bryan Stevenson, the Sunrise Movement, and the Parkland students who founded March for Our Lives.
