The Atlas Economic Research Foundation has established the Freda Utley Prize for Advancing Liberty to reward the efforts of think tanks in difficult parts of the world that are most effective in disseminating the ideas of freedom (limited government, the rule of law, free enterprise, the dignity of the individual, etc.).
This annual Prize will provide a $10,000 reward to a single winner that demonstrates excellence in reaching a broad audience, or achieves a substantial impact on opinion-makers, so that concepts relating to freedom become better understood. For example, good candidates for the Freda Utley Prize could be an institute that documents how its radio program reaches 10,000 listeners each weekday with discussions of economic liberty, or an institute that educates 50 college students each year through a certificate program, and has seen a dozen students from past years graduate into high government positions.
