Wanted:
 Rebels With a Cause.

Campaigns move us in a hopeful direction.

They support the daily work of standing up for what we value, even when it’s difficult to see a finish line. They create a spotlight big enough for all of us to stand in. The Good Fight Prize is a stage upon which everyone involved is celebrated.

 

Anyone can make a nomination for the Good Fight Prize. Here’s the criteria to help you recognize a good contender.

Nominate campaigns with:

  • A visionary narrative about decent work and related issues
  • Solutions-oriented, collective advocacy
  • Creative, courageous, and inclusive leadership
  • A focus on systemic policy change backed by sound research
  • Effective strategies for public education and engagement
  • More than one organization or group, and at least one charitable organization based in Ontario

We can't accept nominations for:

  • A single individual
  • A program or project that delivers employment services
  • A campaign that has been inactive for more than five years
  • A partisan political campaign

Nominations open after Labour Day.

The Good Fight Prize Jury wants to know as much as you can tell them about the campaign in 1,250 words or less. They’d like to know your answers to three questions:

  1. Who are you and how are you connected to the campaign?
  2. What are the campaign details?
  3. Why does this campaign deserve the Good Fight Prize?

Campaigns organize and move us in a hopeful direction.

They support the daily work of standing up for what we value, even when it’s difficult to see a finish line. They create a spotlight big enough for all of us to stand in. The Good Fight Prize is a stage upon which everyone involved is celebrated.
