This annual prize is awarded to a person, group or committee, which has made a real difference to a community through their work in library and information services in countries outside the UK. The nominee will be or will have recently been working overseas in the library and information sector and the award will recognize an initiative that is either current or has been completed within the last year. Precedence will be given to those who have not already received recognition for their work, e.g. by national organizations or publicity. Any person or group, except members of the current and immediate past ILIG Committees, is eligible. They may be of any nationality and need not be professionally trained librarians.
The 2012 award will be made in June. There will be a cash prize of £100, plus one year's free subscription to Focus on International Library and Information Work, ILIG's journal.
No award was made in 2011.
In 2010 ILIG made two International Awards. They were to Vimbai Hungwe for services to health information worldwide and to Jane Kinney Meyers for her work with the Luboto Library Project in Zambia.
