UNAOC, MGIEP, and UNOCT seeking applications for the #DigitalGamesForPeace challenge

Deadline: 30 June 2019

The Sydney Peace Foundation is inviting nominations for its Sydney Peace Prize 2020, Australia’s only international prize for peace to inspire and empower people from all walks of life to make peace with justice a reality.

The prize brings inspiring and exemplary stories of courage and dedication to global justice to the Australian and Sydney stage, educates the community on the work of the world’s most effective peacemakers, and honours the remarkable people at the heart of these stories.

The Sydney Peace Prize is awarded to an individual or organisation. A jury of carefully selected and highly respected members who represent community, academic, corporate, and media sector interests – assesses the merits of the nominees’ efforts to promote peace with justice.

Prize Information

The recipient is awarded a $50,000 prize to further their cause of peace with justice and a hand-made glass trophy crafted by Australian artist Brian Hirst. They spend a week in Sydney to promote understanding of their work by engaging with the media, addressing the public at the City of Sydney Peace Prize Lecture, and meeting with students at Cabramatta High School’s Peace Day.

Eligibility Criteria

Everyone can nominate. Whether applicants are Sydneysider, live somewhere else in Australia, or live abroad – the Sydney Peace Foundation welcomes them to nominate.

Selection Criteria

How to Apply

The Sydney Peace Foundation accepts nominations in writing or email. Nominations should be accompanied by an explanation as to merit of the nomination against the criteria for selection (approximately 200 words), together with as much relevant supporting material as possible.
