The Wei Jingsheng Foundation Calls for Nominees for its Ninth Annual "Wei Jingsheng Chinese Democracy Champion Prize"

 

September 1, 2012

 

The Wei Jingsheng Foundation is opening the call for nominations for the ninth annual "Wei Jingsheng Chinese Democracy Champion Prize".  In previous years, the following awards were made:

 

2004: the first annual Prize went to Mr. HU ShiGen and Mr. LIU XianBin.

2005: WU Yilong and CHEN Xi, with a special award to YU Dongyue. 

2006: GUO Feixiong and ZHOU Zhirong, with a special award to LIN Mu.

2007: ZHANG Lin and YAN Zhengxue, for returning China to directly strive for Chinese freedom and democracy movement.

2008: LIU Jingsheng, represents the 1978 Democracy Wall generation.

2009: HUANG Qi and YANG Tianshui, for their work and effort to push for freedom inside China, especially Internet freedom.

2010: XU WanPing, who is serving a 12-year sentence in prison, with his indomitable actions and tenacious show character we can all learn from.

2011: LIU Di, in recognition of his leadership in the 1976 April 5 Movement in China.

 

The Wei Jingsheng Foundation wishes this annual prize to serve as a continued and consistent encouragement to Chinese democracy advocates who have devoted themselves to and contributed to the progress of Chinese democracy.  Thus, the prize is designated mainly for democracy advocators who are inside China.

 

The annual announcement is made on December 5, the date of publication in 1978 of the well-known article "The 5th Modernization - Democracy", by Mr. WeiJingsheng.  This was a landmark date for the Chinese democracy process.  As stated in our previous news releases, the prize was initiated with the encouragement and financial support of an anonymous donor who promised an essential $1,000.00 annually as seed money for it.  We encourage more donors to contribute as well. (Tax-exempt receipts will be provided for your federal tax deduction purposes, as well as your choice of public acknowledgment or remaining anonymous.)

 

Since the establishment of this prize, the Wei Jingsheng Foundation has received many nominations, and much feedback and encouragement in this regard.  We encourage the participation and recommendations from our colleagues and friends as before.

 

If you have a person to nominate, please send the name, the credentials, other possible referrals, methods of communication and other details to us by midnight on November 11, 2012 (US Eastern Time).  The best way to reach us is via e-mail.  The contact e-mail address is: hcp0411wjs@aol.com or HCP@weijingsheng.org.  Please send plain text (no attachments and/or embedded pictures) for a timely response.

 

We look forward to your nominations, as well as your input and suggestions.  You may also contact us at the Wei Jingsheng Foundation via other means.  Our mailing address is: P.O. Box 15449, Washington, DC 20003, USA. Our phone number is: 001-202-270-6980. Thank you.
