The 2020 Markets Choice Awards are almost here!

We’re looking for input on some of the most important and unique categories in the MCA program: the Instinet Positive Change Awards.

The Instinet Positive Change Awards recognize achievements that have far-reaching impact in three areas: *Visionaries; Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging; *and* Philanthropy*. The idea is to showcase individuals and firms who go beyond excellence at their day jobs — those who are also agents for positive change in the world around us.

In the [2019 Markets Choice Awards](https://www.marketsmedia.com/2019-markets-choice-award-winners-announced/), Instinet Positive Change Award winners were Jerome Pustilnik, co-founder of Instinet, for Visionaries (posthumous); BNP Paribas for Diversity & Inclusion; and Bryan Harkins of Cboe Global Markets, for Philanthropy.

We've requested reader nominations for [Philanthropy](https://www.marketsmedia.com/instinet-positive-change-philanthropy/) and [Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging](https://www.marketsmedia.com/instinet-positive-change-award-diversity-inclusion-belonging/). Today, we ask our dear readers: who in capital markets has brought us original ideas that will shape what the future will look like? Who are the true Visionaries?
