The POZ 100 was created in 2010 as a way to shine a spotlight on people making a difference in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Each year’s list has a different focus; this year’s list will celebrate Latino advocates and will include both people living with HIV and those who are HIV negative.

 

The early deadline for the 2022 POZ 100 is Monday, August 22! If you haven’t already submitted a nomination, here are six reasons to consider doing so:

 

  1. Celebrate Someone Else’s Achievements: Nominating someone for the POZ 100 is a great way to acknowledge the work of another person, whether it’s a co-worker, peer, friend or family member. What better way to give someone the recognition they deserve?
     
  2. Showcase Your Own Work: Self-nominations are accepted! Go ahead and pat yourself on the back for all your efforts in the fight against HIV.
     
  3. Support Your Community Organization: The POZ 100 not only recognizes the work of individuals; it also serves to highlight the work of AIDS service organizations, clinics and other agencies. Make someone’s day by nominating an individual who makes a difference in your community.  
     
  4. Increase Awareness: There’s no better way to spread the word about your work (or someone else’s) than being featured in POZ magazine and on POZ.com. We’ll promote the POZ 100 through our social networks and work to get other press outlets to cover it as well.
     
  5. Champion a Cause: Whether you’re working on issues surrounding HIV criminalization or fighting for better access to PrEP, the POZ 100 honors all types of work being done to combat the epidemic. Make sure your cause is represented in the list.
     
  6. It’s EASY: Simply go to poz.com/nominate to complete a nomination. Nominees must submit a hi-res photo and be willing to have their name and photo appear in POZ magazine and on POZ.com.
