::Agreed. Fame shouldn't rule out a candidate, of course, but one of the values an award can have is to bring recognition to individuals who have earned it in quieter, low-key ways while making no less of a difference in the world. There's also value in raising the awareness of groups or causes that would have much more support if people only knew about them. --[[User:DinsdaleP|DinsdaleP]] 09:10, 21 May 2008 (EDT) | ::Agreed.
