Winning initiatives will each receive US$5,000, with 10 selected for special recognition and a total of US$20,000. Representatives of winning communities will also be invited to participate in the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20), to be held in Brazil in June 2012.

The eligibility and selection criteria for this cycle of the prize, however, have been broadened significantly to accommodate a wider range of community-based initiatives, fields of work, and countries of operation. Eligibility has been expanded to all countries receiving support from UNDP, making this a truly global award for local best practice, and includes a “special recognition” category for Sustainable Forest Management, including REDD+.
