Each year, the Colin Higgins Foundation recognizes youth activists who have taken a stand against intolerance and hostility exhibited towards members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Two-Spirit, Queer and Questioning (LGBTQ) community and is currently accepting nominations for the 2010 awards.
This year the Foundation will be awarding $10,000 grants to LGBTQ youth activists (through age 21) who have bravely stood up to hostility and intolerance based on their sexual orientation and/or gender identity and triumphed over bigotry through working for LGBTQ rights and social justice
The Foundation encourages all nominations to be made via the online submission tool at http://www.colinhiggins.org/. The deadline for all nominations is 9am EST, Monday, March 1st 2010. Late nominations will not be accepted.
