Individuals Working to Advance Human Well-Being Invited
to
Apply for Rolex Awards for Enterprise

Deadlines: Various

The Rolex Awards for Enterprise are designed to support
excep-
 tional individuals who initiate outstanding ventures
that advance
 human knowledge and well-being.

The awards support initiatives in the following areas:
Science
 and Medicine -- contributing to human health and
welfare; Tech-
 nology and Innovation -- finding new ways to improve
life;
 Exploration and Discovery -- expanding our knowledge
of the
 world; the Environment -- protecting or improving our
natural
 and physical surroundings; and Cultural Heritage --
conserving
 or contributing to our common cultural/artistic
heritage.

Unlike other programs that reward past achievements,
the Rolex
 Awards assist individuals embarking on new ventures or
complet-
 ing ongoing projects. Applicants must submit projects
that are
 envisaged for the future or that have been completed
in part.
 Undertakings or projects that will be completed when
the awards
 are announced cannot be considered.

The five award recipients will receive $100,000 each
and a Rolex
 chronometer as well as international publicity. Up to
five other
 runners-up whose projects are judged to be
particularly promising
 will each also receive a financial award, a Rolex
chronometer,
 and publicity.

Anyone of any age, nationality, or background can apply
for a
 Rolex Award for Enterprise. Applications may be
submitted by
 individuals only. If a project represents the efforts
of several
 individuals, one person must represent the group and
sign the
 application form.

Award deadlines are as follows: May 31, 2007, for Asia,
the
 Pacific, and North, Central, and South America; and
September 30,
 2007, for Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.

information.
