The Directory of Social Change is inviting nominations for the 2012 Social Change
Awards. These awards are designed to recognise those “working to achieve a positive
change in society”, and they are open to individuals, charities, community groups,
funders, companies, and public bodies.

You can nominate yourself/your own organisation or recommend others for nomination.

## Categories

The categories are:

* Everyday Impact Award – New Enterprises

* Everyday Impact Award – Long-term Enterprises

* Influencer Award

* The Lifetime Achievement Award

* The Great Giving Funders Award

The latter is for funders that “demonstrate a clear understanding of their beneficiaries
and funding environment”.

To be eligible, organisations and individuals must be based in the UK. Their work,
however, can be international.

## Judging

A judging panel will select three shortlist nominees for each category and then 
these will be published for the public to vote on in October.
