[MSN] Public Eye Awards for social responsibility

[Museum Security Network Mailinglist]

Dear Colleagues

I kindly invite you to pay attention to the call for nominations for the Public Eye Award 2007 for irresponsible corporate behaviour. I can imagine that there might be a potential nominee in the field of the illegal trade and destruction of cultural heritage...

Yours,
Claudia Buess

Frech wie ein Moskito
Der erste Werbespot in der Geschichte der EvB wurde in vielen Openair-Kinos gratis ausgestrahlt und ist nächstens auch im Fernsehen zu sehen. Der bekannte Schauspieler Gilles Tschudi (alias Marcel Ospel im Film "Grounding" und Financier Michael Frick bei "Lüthi&Blanc") spielt im "Moskito"-Werbespot die Rolle eines typischen CEO.

CALL FOR NOMINATIONS 
for the "Public Eye Awards 2007" in Davos


Dear colleagues

With the conferring of the "Public Eye Awards" in 2006, the tradition continues. Once again the Berne Declaration and Pro Natura - Friends of the Earth Switzerland effectively reminded corporate bosses at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos of their social and ecological responsibilities. As in the past, our "awards of disrepute" attracted considerable media attention and provoked corresponding reactions from the award-winning corporations. These facts demonstrate that the issue of corporate accountability continues to gain in importance on the public agenda.

And here we go again: With the "Public Eye Awards 2007," we pick up where they left off and hereby invite you to participate in the primary anti-WEF event. This time we are looking for

1. Corporations that act (or have recently acted) in a particularly irresponsible manner, socially and/or ecologically, in the categories
*	"GLOBAL PLAYERS" (including WEF corporate members)
*	"SWISS COMPANIES" (from transnational corporations down to small- and medium-size firms)

2. Corporations displaying particularly responsible behavior, fitting of a role model, for the
*	"POSITIVE AWARD"


	PARTICIPATE AND WIN!
	Minimal investment, maximum yield: Convince us on an A4 page, brief and to the point, why the corporation you nominate deserves which "Public Eye Award". In return, we offer you the prospect of international media attention for your organization and your cause.

	SUBMIT NOMINATIONS BY 20 SEPTEMBER 2006 TO
*	Public Eye Awards c/o Berne Declaration, Postfach, 8031 Zurich, Switzerland
*	publiceye at evb.ch

WHAT HAPPENS THEN?
The organizers will review all received proposals and present them to a jury. (For other details, including the composition of the jury, see www.publiceye.ch.) The jury will then produce a shortlist consisting of three outstanding cases from each of the three categories. If your nominee makes the shortlist, we will contact you in mid-October to assemble a more detailed dossier together. Based on those dossiers, the jury will select the prizewinners in mid-November. They will be "honored" in the setting of a prominently-attended awards ceremony in Davos.

All nine short-listed nominees will be presented at an international press conference in mid-January 2007 and announced simultaneously on www.publiceye.ch. If your nominee wins one of the three awards, you will join us on 24 January 2007 in Davos as a presenter at the WEF counter-event, at our expense.

Therefore colleagues on your marks... get set ... go Davos!

Many thanks for your participation and for spreading the word.
