FYI. The Linguapax awards nomination process is open. The awards are "awarded to linguists, researchers, professors and members of the civil society in acknowledgement of their outstanding work in the field linguistic diversity and/or multilingual education. Nominations of people having contributed to improve the linguistic situation of a community or country will be specially appreciated." [from the Linguapax website].
Readers of this list will recall that Cameroonian sociolinguist Maurice Tadadjeu received the 2005 award.
