Hi everyone, Sharing a funding opportunity for gender projects. Last year I nominated an OpenStreetMap community which received the grant, so it would be worth a try for anyone running gender programs! Thanks, Rebecca

We hope we can count on you to spread the word about the opportunity these awards present to the finalists and winners. Beyond just bragging rights, the recognized initiatives gain a powerful network of EQUALS allies, former winners, and community members, all working toward the same goal: gender digital equality. As you know, the EQUALS in Tech Awards have been presented since 2013 (they started out as the GEM-Tech Awards), making this the 7th annual celebration of groundbreaking work in digital access, skills, leadership, and research. We know that it is more important than ever to help boost the successes and stories of programs and people around the world helping women and girls gain the full benefits of digital equality. To maximize the number and diversity of nominated initiatives, we need your help. If the entire EQUALS partnership mobilizes our social media networks to announce the nominations, we have a chance this year to reach every corner of the globe and give even the smallest projects the opportunity to show their progress and perhaps move toward growth, scalability and the incredible results that the world so desperately needs. We are asking for your help in two areas: 1. *Assist with the call for nominations* (see details below, and feel free to use the attached social media cards to promote the awards) 2. *Ideas and contributions for a prize package* suitable for a virtual event (in previous years, the winners got a paid trip to the award ceremony) The award nomination period will be from *9 June – 1 August 2020*. Awards are given in five categories: - Access - Skills - Leadership in Tech - Leadership in SME - Research In August, a group of finalists will be identified by the judging panel and those finalists will be promoted widely on our networks. The winners in each category will be announced in the autumn at a venue to be determined.
