<http://thomsonreuters.sgml1.co.uk/thomsonreuterslz/lz.aspx?p1=05395092S22&w=1> Dear Samer, Thomson Reuters, in partnership with Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, is proud to announce the launch of the second annual Ethical Finance Innovation Challenge & Awards (EFICA) for 2014. The global awards are designed to recognize and reward innovation in ethical and Islamic finance and we believe that you can become a catalyst for changing the finance industry for the better. We want to steer the development of financial services in alignment with the ethics we aspire to in life: we want clearer and more transparent business terms, we want to support social good through finance and improve greater inclusion in financial services. Yet, the ability to influence finance to be a catalyst for social good has not always been in our control. Now it is. The inaugural awards in 2013 generated over one hundred applications from individuals and entities from across the globe from which a dozen were shortlisted for our workshop with the EFICA advisory board. The eventual winners were selected based on voting from the audience at the Global Islamic Economy Summit in November 2013. *Applications are open for the following categories: * 1) *Ethical Finance Initiative Award* offers a prize of $50,000. This award aims to recognize existing ethical financial solutions that can be implemented within the financial sector. 2) *Islamic Finance Industry Development Award *offers a prize of $100,000. This award aims to facilitate best practice business models that address challenges faced in the development of the Islamic financial services industry whilst inspiring integrity and an ethical way of thinking. *The three challenges that have been proposed by the EFICA advisory board are:* 1. Develop an Islamic credit card 2. Develop Finance solutions for start ups 3. Develop cases / pitches that explain why Islamic finance is a viable, ethical and beneficial form of finance for customers and shareholders. 3) *Lifetime Achievement Award* offers a prize of $25,000: This award will be conferred on an individual who has made a significant contribution and impact in the ethical practice of financial services. Entries are welcome from any institution, research centre, individuals or groups interested in shaping the financial industry within an ethical framework. All applications will be judged on their merit based on a detailed and objective scoring criteria. Submissions for these three awards will be open from now until 5 August, 2014.
