Dial-a-Cab client, Deutsche Bank, are asking young people to prove they can make positive changes to society and a new prize is being launched to celebrate their achievements. Known as CHANGEit, the prize is being sponsored by Deutsche Bank and young campaigners are being urged to come forward to take part. The public is also being asked to nominate young people they know who are making an outstanding contribution to their community.
   CHANGEit
will be an annual prize run by international leadership organisation Common Purpose, which wants to recognise young people who have campaigned for change. All types of campaigns are welcomed, from alcohol awareness campaigns to a fundraising initiative for a local hospital. They are not about sitting in a classroom and getting high grades, but about getting out into the community and changing it for the better.  

There are two categories:
The Innovation Prize
: This is to enable young campaigners to get their idea off the ground. The prize money is to be used as seed

Deutsche Bank asks:
"Can young people change Society for the better?"
There are always DaC drivers outside Deutsche Bank, but do you know any young people who are changing society for the better?

  Julia Middleton, Chief Executive of Common Purpose, explained the importance of highlighting the accomplishment and success of young people to Call Sign:
   "There has been a lot of attention given to very serious crimes committed by young people recently and we want to tell the other side of the story and highlight the amazing
 
things that young people are doing to change society for the better."
  
The scheme launches on 10 October 2007 and is open to nominations until 15 December 2007. The prizes will be announced in May and winners will be presented with a prize of £750 by GMTV presenter Ben Shephard at a ceremony in London.
