Milton Friedman Prize for Advancing Liberty

The Cato Institute is pleased to invite nominations for the third biennial Milton Friedman Prize for Advancing Liberty. The prize, which carries a $500,000 award, will be personally presented to the winner at a dinner on May 18, 2006, in Chicago, where Milton Friedman lived and worked for many years.

The winner needs to meet only one criterion: to have made a significant contribution to advancing human liberty. Nominees may be from any and all walks of life. Scholars, activists, and political leaders have been among the hundreds of nominations submitted for the first two prizes. Nominations must be submitted by December 31, 2005.
