US$ 250,000
heinzawards
The Heinz Awards are individual achievement honors given annually by the Heinz Family Foundation . The Heinz Awards each year recognize outstanding individuals for their innovative contributions in three areas: the Arts, the Economy and the Environment. The award was established in 1993 by Teresa Heinz , the chairwoman of the Heinz Family Foundation ,[1] H. John Heinz III .[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]
Two recipients in each of the three categories receive an unrestricted prize of US$ 250,000 and a cast silver medallion.[9] [10] US$ 100,000 and a medallion.[11] globe being exchanged between two hands is displayed.[8] [12]
Selection process [ edit ]
Criteria [ edit ]
As written by the Heinz Family Foundation , the candidates who are chosen must meet three standards:
First, nominees must exhibit the following personal characteristics: A passion for excellence that goes beyond intellectual curiosity; a concern for humanity rooted in a deep sensitivity for the well-being of others; and a broad vision which extends far beyond the particular and embraces something universal.
Second, work of the candidates for a Heinz Award must meet the following criteria: Be significant and not a "quick fix"; Have an enduring and meaningful impact; be creative and innovative; and be sufficiently tangible to serve as a model for replication elsewhere.
Third, candidates should be actively working in the field in which they are nominated so that this award will enhance their potential for future societal contribution.[13]
Selection [ edit ]
Members of an anonymous Council of Nominators are chosen for their expertise in the fields relevant to the award for which they will be nominating.[8] [14]
The Chairman's Medal [ edit ]
In certain years, the Heinz Awards Board has also chosen to honor the lifetime achievement of a particular individual. The award is a non-monetary prize, and the honoree is presented with the Awards' medallion at the same ceremony as the other laureates .
Special Focus on the Environment [ edit ]
In 2009, in honor of the awards' 15th anniversary, an award for special focus on the environment was created in lieu of the traditional five awards. A larger group of 10 individuals were awarded US$ 100,000 each, honoring those working in innovative ways to address the environment through the lens of the existing five categories.[11] [15]
Similarly, in 2010 and 2011 the Special Focus was continued, and in both years 10 individuals were again each awarded US$ 100,000 each.[16] [17]
