The Wei Jingsheng Foundation Calls for Nominees for its Third Annual "Wei Jingsheng Chinese Democracy Champion Prize"
On December 5, 2004, the Wei Jingsheng Foundation awarded its first annual "Wei Jingsheng Chinese Democracy Champion Prize" to Mr. HU ShiGen and Mr. LIU XianBin, with a total prize of $5,000.00. On December 5, 2005, the Wei Jingsheng Foundation awarded its second annual "Wei Jingsheng Chinese Democracy Champion Prize" to Mr. YU DongYue, Mr. WU YiLong and Mr. CHEN Xi, with a total prize of $5,600.00.
Since the announcement of this prize, the foundation has received many nominations. After the announcement of the last two prizes, the foundation received much positive feedback, in particular from Chinese democracy advocators inside China. Hereby, we thank all the people for their participation, especially their input, suggestions and nominations. In particular, we want to express our gratitude to the wide support for our awardee Yu DongYue since our decision of award him the prize. Mr. YU was released in advance in February 2006 after nearly 17 years of imprisonment for his participation of the 1989 Democracy Movement. Now, finally he has received the long overdue attention and care from the international society as well as people of China.
The Wei Jingsheng Foundation wishes this annual prize serve as a continued and consistent encouragement to the Chinese democracy advocates who have devoted themselves to and contributed to the progress of Chinese democracy. Thus, the prize is designated mainly for democracy advocators who are inside China.
The annual announcement shall be made on December 5, the date of publication of the well-known article "The 5th Modernization - Chinese Democracy", by Mr. Wei Jingsheng in 1978, a landmark date for the Chinese democracy process. As stated in our previous news releases, this prize was initiated with the encouragement and financial support of an anonymous donor who has promised an essential $1,000.00 annually as the seed money for this prize. We encourage more donors to contribute as well. (Tax-exempt receipts will be provided for your federal tax deduction purposes, as well as your choice of a public acknowledgement or remaining anonymous. Hereby, we express our gratitude to the donors who provided the additional $4,600.00 for last year's prize; one reason we were able to award three worthy people.)
If you have a person to nominate, please send the name, the credentials, other possible referrals, methods of communication and other details to us. The best way to reach us is via e-mail. The contact e-mail address is: hcp0411wjs@aol.com or HCP@weijingsheng.org. Please send plain text (no attachments and/or picture imbedded e-mails) for a timely response.
We look forward to your nominations, as well as your input and suggestions. You may also contact us at Wei Jingsheng Foundation. Our mailing address is: P. O. Box 15449, Washington, DC 20003, USA. Our phone number is: 001-202-543-1538. Thanks ever so much.

魏京生基金会第三届“魏京生中国民主斗士奖”征求提名
２００４年１２月５日，魏京生基金会宣布将第一届“魏京生中国民主斗士奖”及五千美元的奖金赠与获奖者胡石根先生与刘贤斌先生。2005年１２月５日，喻东岳、吴义龙与陈西荣获魏京生基金会第二届“魏京生中国民主斗士奖”及五千六百美元的奖金。其中，喻东岳先生获“魏京生中国民主斗士特别奖”。喻东岳先生因参与1989年民主运动而入狱并遭迫害而失常。
一年多来，本基金会收到了许多来自各方尤其是中国大陆的朋友们的鼓励与建议。特别值得一提的是：多年来默默无闻的喻东岳先生，终于受到了他十多年来本就应有的国际关注与援助。在2006年2月被提前释放出狱后，各方面关注中国人权与民主的人士更是出钱出力，本基金会谨此一并表示谢意并期望与大家一起更进一步地努力。
一年一度的"魏京生中国民主斗士奖"的目标是对中国的民主运动进行连续不断的鼓励与推动，因而其得奖对象以支持与奖励在中国国内坚持中国民主运动的个人与团体为主。颁奖日为12月5日 -- 魏京生先生1978年发表的，享有盛名的文章“第五个现代化- 民主”的纪念日。
奖金以某匿名人士所认捐的每年一千美元为底金。我们也感谢并希望其它支持中国人权与民主运动人士的积极捐赠。在此，我们向过去两年所有的捐赠者表示感谢。魏京生基金会是一个在美国联邦政府注册的非营利性机构，您的捐款可获得我们发给的（在美国免税的）捐款证明。您也可以注明您是否希望得到我们的公开感谢。
如果您希望为２００6年魏京生基金会第三届“魏京生中国民主斗士奖”提名，请将有关被推荐人的详细情况及应获奖的缘由介绍给我们。最好是以电子邮件的方式联系。电子邮件地址为：hcp0411wjs@aol.com 及 HCP@weijingsheng.org 。 （请以不含附件及图片的纯文本的信件方式直接寄出，以免延误。）
我们也希望冀此得到您们进一步的意见与建议。我们的通讯地址是：P. O. Box 15449, Washington, DC 20003, USA。电话是：001-202-543-1538。
