L’Oreal Announces the Sixth Annual Women of Worth Awards Honoring Women Dedicated to Volunteerism and Community
Deadline: June 30, 2011

L’Oreal Paris, a division of L’Oreal USA, Inc., has announced the opening of the 2011 Women of Worth nomination period. Now in its sixth year, the Women of Worth program seeks to honor women in the United States for their dedication to charitable programs and volunteerism in their communities. Past honorees have dedicated themselves to providing relief and raising awareness among a broad range of causes, including hunger, homelessness, health care, education, and more.

To be eligible, a nominee must be a woman 18 years of age or older who has a record of exemplary non-compensated service within her community and beyond. The nominee should be able to demonstrate the impact of her work within her community, be aspirational and inspirational to others, demonstrate commitment to her cause, and exemplify leadership. Nominees must be legal residents of the fifty United States or the District of Columbia, and the nominee’s volunteer activities must have occurred in the continental U.S. and have primarily served domestic American needs. The volunteer activity should have lasted for at least six uninterrupted months and should be ongoing.

Nominations may be submitted by individuals and organizations familiar with the nominee’s work (including friends and family members). Self-nominations are allowed and encouraged.

Ten honorees will each receive $10,000 for their charitable cause. One national honoree will be chosen via a public online vote and will receive an additional $25,000 for her charity. All ten honorees will be honored and the national honoree will be announced at an awards ceremony in New York City.
