Project: Outstanding LGBT Graduates

What it is:The Advocate is currently accepting nominations for outstanding LGBT graduates who are creating postgraduate projects and organizations designed to benefit LGBT people.

Who we'll select: The magazine is looking for young people who are using new ways of thinking about LGBT issues to create innovative approaches to activism and/or philanthropy. They can be starting an organization, running for office, launching an awareness campaign, or something completely different.

What we'll do with it:The Advocate's Pride issue will present the finalists and their projects. The feature will become an annual event in our Pride issue.

How to Apply: Anyone can nominate a student who is about to graduate high school, college, or graduate/professional school in spring 2008. You are also welcome to nominate yourself. The application must include answers to the following questions as well as any other supporting data:

  • The student's name, school, and area of study.
  • What is the project? (Be specific! What will you do? Who does it help? Why is it important? How is it innovative?)
  • How will the project make an impact on gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and/or transgenders?
  • What is the time frame for getting this project up and running?
  • How will the student's project be funded?

When you've rounded up all that information, send it to graduates@advocate.com, where you may also send any questions or comments. Please put "Graduates" in the subject line.
