Do you know a leader in any field whose work is innovative, courageous, and sees the big picture for creating global change? Or does this sound like the type of leader you aspire to become?

Nominations for the 2024 Tällberg-SNF-Eliasson Global Leadership Prize and applications for the Tällberg Leaders Mentoring Leaders (TLML) program are open now through May 15.

Nominations for the Tällberg-SNF-Eliasson Global Leadership Prize may be made online by anyone, and the leaders selected will each be awarded a $50,000 unrestricted grant. Anyone can apply for the TLML program, and the 20 leaders selected will take part in a yearlong mentorship experience with a global network of established leaders that will kick off with a workshop in January 2025. Nominations and applications will both be reviewed by an international jury.

The prize is named to reflect the longstanding partnership between the Tällberg Foundation and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF), and to honor Swedish diplomat and former Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations Jan Eliasson. SNF supports the Tällberg Foundation’s efforts to spotlight and uplift stellar leadership.

The 2023 prizewinners, recently feted at an event in Italy, have helped bring vision to more than a million people, worked to ensure that new technologies serve humanity rather than the other way around, and fought to safeguard and restore forests around the world.
