In front of the Curtain
The Lazarus Union uses this motto to present companies, unions/NGO´s that are involved in humanitarian activities and are not part of the Lazarus Union, to not only present their activities to a larger audience but also say “thank you” in public. Very special activities shall be presented in the course of a “LAZARUS UNION HUMANITARIAN GALA” in an appropriate surrounding. First time we shall award These Prices in our jubilee year 2020.
From all submissions in the categories company, union/NGO, individual, and youth (individual resp. group) the directorate of the Lazarus Union and the scientific directorate of the International Leadership Academy of the Lazarus Union will award two monetary prizes each and one appreciation award for Austrian initiatives.
Additionally, an appreciation award will be awarded in an international category to one company, union/NGO, individual, and youth (individual resp. group) each.
The jury may, on it’s own discretion, also annually award one “St. Lazare Lifetime Award”.
Anybody who knows such humanitarian and peace-supporting projects may submit these with the Lazarus Union (using a specially provided application form). Selected submitted projects will be presented on our web site under the heading “stage call”.
The amount of the awards depends on the profits from our “Medal of Blessing”, “Nomination Medal”, and “Lazarus Medal”. A total endowment of EUR 5,000.- is envisaged.
All socially minded persons, unions/NGOs, companies, etc. are cordially called upon and invited to support this new Lazarus Union initiative by purchasing the mentioned insignia (as a visible and wearable thank you).
We would like to point out that the Lazarus Union has neither registration fees nor membership fees and all “administrative costs” are less than 2.5%. This means that 97% of our entire budget goes into our projects. All Lazarus Union members are volunteers and in accordance with our statutes receive neither compensation nor expenses reimbursements!
Please participate!
