There are countless individuals worldwide who work tirelessly to make an impactful difference for humanity, and their efforts should be celebrated. One way to do this is with a sidney prize, which recognizes those who are doing good work while also inspiring more people to join their cause. Whether an individual is working for peace, justice, or the environment, there is a sidney prize available to them that can help.
The sidney prize is a prestigious award that was created to honor individuals who have made significant contributions to society. These contributions can come in the form of social activism, entrepreneurship, or public policy initiatives. Those who are looking to win this award should be sure that they meet all the eligibility requirements before applying.
This year, the 2023 Sydney prize winner was Nazanin Boniadi, an Iranian actress and human rights activist who has dedicated her life to promoting women’s rights. She was chosen for her work in converting outrage into action, and she has since gone on to win many other awards, including the Nobel Peace Prize and Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2022.
One of the most popular sidney prizes is the Hillman Prize for Journalism in Service of the Common Good. The prize is administered by the Sidney Hillman Foundation and is given to journalists who use their skills to advance social justice, democracy, and economic opportunity for all. The prize is open to all U.S and Canadian journalists working at publications with a circulation of more than 100,000. The winners are announced monthly and the deadline for the 2024 competition was January 15.
In addition to the Hillman Prize, there are several other sidney prizes available to writers. The Neilma Sidney Short Story Prize, for example, was established by Overland magazine and the Malcolm Robertson Foundation to encourage young writers to explore the ideas of travel. Its first place winner receives $5000, and the runner-ups each get $2750. The winning stories are published in Overland’s autumn issue and online.
The MAK Halliday Postgraduate Research Prize is awarded annually in honour of the founder of the Department of Linguistics at the University of Sydney.

The Sidney Edelstein Prize in the History of Technology is given annually by SHOT to an outstanding book in the field of the history of technology.
