Who鈥檚 your unsung hero?

The 麻豆官网首页入口 Inspirations Awards - Outlook's quest for the world鈥檚 most inspiring people - is back

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Worn down by all the conflict and antagonism in the world? We have something to brighten your outlook: today, we are launching the 麻豆官网首页入口 Inspirations Awards 2020!聽 A celebration of the world's most inspiring people.

In 2018, our judges Tessa Thompson, Frank Gardner and Kumi Naidoo picked three incredible winners:

Nice Leng鈥檈te, who escaped female circumcision when she was 8 years old, became the only girl in her village to go to school, and then convinced her Maasai elders to end FGM; Brisa de Angulo, who challenged Bolivia's legal system and set up a school for sexual abuse survivors after she was raped as a teenager; and Livey Van Wyk, who was ostracised by her community when she became an HIV+ pregnant teen but then went on to become the youngest mayor in Namibia.

Now, we need YOUR help for 麻豆官网首页入口 Inspirations 2020.

Is there an unsung hero that you would like to nominate for this year鈥檚 longlist? Send your entries to www.bbcworldservice.com/inspirations. It also has our terms and privacy notice. We're accepting submissions until 12:00 GMT on Thursday 9 April, so no time to lose!
