Last year, Malala Yousafzai was awarded our first annual Millennial of the Year. This year, she received a slightly more prestigious award: the Nobel Peace Prize. Malala has set a high bar, but there are countless millennials who are engaged in important and inspiring work. We would like to invite you to nominate a deserving millennial for this year’s award.

The award goes to a millennial who made an outstanding contribution to human flourishing and the common good, whose actions reflect a commitment to the dignity and worth of the person. Eligible persons must be born between 1978 and 2005.

Please note that nominations are not limited to Catholic millennials.

Nominations may be submitted on social media (facebook or twitter) or sent to millennialeditor[at]gmail.com. Along with your nomination, please give a brief explanation of why this person should be named our 2014 Millennial of the Year.
