FIVE REASONS
Top five reasons to make a nomination for the Tällberg-SNF-Eliasson Global Leadership Prize
The anthropologist Margaret Mead once wrote, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” Inspirational? We hope so. But if it’s not enough to get you to open your laptop, here are five reasons you should take a moment to make a nomination.
1ST
REASON
A chance to join a network of global leaders
You will give someone the opportunity to join a group of leaders who embrace change. Leaders committed to creating sustainable global impact.
Exposure to an influential panel of jurors
Jury members, global leaders in their own right, are drawn from a wide variety of national, cultural, and professional backgrounds. The work of all qualifying nominees will be recognized by this group of leaders. Winners get the opportunity to learn from and interact with jury members.

Financial reward
The Tällberg-SNF-Eliasson Global Leadership Prize carries a prize of $50,000.
In 2024, we will award three Prizes for established leaders whose track record of accomplishments is substantial and who, in the jury’s judgement, are likely to continue to make important, positive contributions in their chosen field.
Support the mission that leadership can change the world
In 2015 we named the Prize in honor of Jan Eliasson—Swedish diplomat, former U.N. Deputy Secretary General, and the epitome of a global action-oriented thinker. This year we added “SNF” to the Prize name to recognize the tremendous support that the Tällberg Foundation receives from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation. Under the leadership of Co-President Andreas Dracopoulos, SNF has become one of the most dynamic and innovative global philanthropic organizations—one that uses its resources and imagination to promote positive global change. We are incredibly proud of the opportunity to collaborate in that effort.
