Hilton Foundation is inviting nominations for the 2004 Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize. The prize will recognise an organisation that has made extraordinary contributions toward alleviating human suffering anywhere in the world. The $1 million prize, the world’s largest humanitarian award, is presented annually to an established non-profit, charitable or non-governmental organisation. The prize is not a grant, based on future goals, but an award for recent and historic accomplishments. An independent international panel of jurors makes the final selection. ## Advertisement [⌊Posthub advert. You create the campaign. We'll handle the postal journey.
