Deadline: 2-Mar-22
Do you know any courageous and innovative change-makers who strive to create a more just, peaceful and sustainable world for those around them? If yes, then nominations for the Right Livelihood Award are fully open to the public!
Nominations are accepted in English, French and Spanish and can be submitted from mid-December until early March.
Cash & Honorary Award
- Typically, the Jury selects recipients for three Cash Awards and one Honorary Award each year.
- The Honorary Award is intended for nominees whose primary need is not cash support but who would benefit from the considerable recognition and publicity, which the Right Livelihood Award generates.
- The Honorary Award may also be applicable in cases where it is not safe for the nominee to receive future funds.
- The Cash awards are intended for work in progress or the extension of existing activities; they are never given for personal use. Each Cash Award is valued at around 1 million Swedish Krona.
Eligibility Criteria
- Any living person or organisation can be nominated for a Right Livelihood Award. There are no restrictions on who may submit a nomination, individuals or organisations can submit a nomination.
