Nominations Invited for Second Annual Volvo for Life Awards
Deadline: January 16, 2004

Introduced in December 2002 by Volvo Cars of North America, the Volvo for Life Awards (<a href="http://www.volvoforlifeawards.com/">http://www.volvoforlifeawards.com/</a>) honor ordinary people who do the extraordinary.

Beginning this year, the awards will be made in three categories: Safety, Quality of Life, and Environment. Recipients of the award will have taken extraordinary measures to contribute to the common good in at least one of these areas. The program seeks nominees who act beyond the ordinary requirements of their profession or daily routine, and will pay special attention to efforts that benefit many people, improve the natural environment, or help an underserved community. Originality, creativity, initiative, and impact will also be taken into account.

A nominee’s achievements, which might involve a single extraordinary act or be part of an ongoing project, must have occurred at least in part during the 2003 calendar year.

The program will name three finalists in each of the three categories. One winner per category will be selected to receive $50,000 for the charity of his/her choice, while the remaining six finalists will receive $10,000 for a charity of their choice. One Grand Award Winner will also receive the use of a Volvo for life.

All U.S. citizens or legal residents of the U.S. of any age, including U.S. citizens living abroad, are eligible to submit nominations for the awards.
