BENNY Award--awarded annually for new victories in corporate campaigning, where a victory is defined as the realization of a significant commitment or actual change in policy by a targeted corporation or industry. This may also include a significant legislative or policy change prompted by corporate campaigning that improves the social, environmental, financial or political practices of corporations. This award contains two sub-categories: community-based campaigns (where the campaign is staffed and run mainly by local activists) and other campaigns (where the campaign is staffed and run mainly by national or other larger groups). If there are fewer than five nominations in either sub-category, the nominations will be reviewed as one category. Path To Victory Award--awarded annually for new achievements in corporate campaigning, where an achievement is defined as the realization of a critical step on the path to a campaign victory, where that step could be any aspect of a corporate campaign, including but not limited to research, strategy, negotiation, outreach, grassroots activism, media and communications, implementation, etc., and especially where the achievement shows impressive innovation, creativity, scope and/or impact. Recognizing that victories are often achieved only after long struggles over many years, we created this award to celebrate significant progress and innovation in campaigning, because each successful day of action, each exposing report, and each new tactic used is a step toward success in corporate transformation.
