Orient Global Freedom To Create Prize
Freedom to Create was established by businessman Richard F. Chandler in 2006 to foster prosperity in the developing world by investing in the creative foundations of society. The Freedom to Create Prize was introduced in 2008 to support and recognise artists who strive for social change in places where there is no Freedom to Create. The Freedom to Create Forum was introduced in 2010 as a platform for women across the globe to identify initiatives that can unleash the untapped creative potential of millions of women who have been denied an opportunity to participate and contribute towards their own prosperity.
Freedom to Create abides by the philosophy that the arts have an innovative and unique ability to improve lives and transform communities. According to their website, they have made over 240 grants in over 80 countries, touching over 12 million lives.

“Ask me no more where Jove bestows,
When June is past, the fading rose;
For in your beauty’s orient deep
These flowers, as in their causes, sleep.
Ask me no more whither do stray
The golden atoms of the day;
For in pure love heaven did prepare
Those powders to enrich your hair.”
—Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
“Much of what Mr. Wallace calls his global thinking is, no matter how you slice it, still “globaloney.” Mr. Wallace’s warp of sense and his woof of nonsense is very tricky cloth out of which to cut the pattern of a post-war world.”
—Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)

—Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)

—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“To a maiden true he’ll give his hand,
Hey lillie, ho lillie lallie,
To the king’s daughter o’ fair England,
To a prize that was won by a slain brother’s brand,
I’ the brave nights so early.”
—Unknown. Earl Brand (l. 67–71)
