Now in its seventh year, Tomorrow’s Peacebuilders offers global recognition for grassroots peace activists in war zones around the world. These are the only global awards for local peacebuilders – inspiring individuals who are building a better tomorrow in the world’s most fragile place
Peace Direct is delighted to announce the annual ‘Tomorrow’s Peacebuilders’ awards are now open for entries. Across the world, local people are tackling the causes of violence at the root, and rebuilding lives after war that has torn communities apart. Tomorrow’s Peacebuilders is the global awards for local peacebuilding, to recognise the work of those taking a stand for peace.
Awarded annually, we offer international recognition for grassroots peace activists in conflict-affected countries worldwide. These are inspiring ipeople who are building a better tomorrow for their communities, in the most fragile and needy places. Three winning organisations will each receive $10,000 and online promotion of their work, and $1,000 will be awarded to the winning photography prize.
The winners will be chosen by an international panel of experts including distinguished peacebuilders, political figures of reconciliation, the Alliance for Peacebuilding and our amazing sponsors: Away and the Pickwell Foundation.
In the last six years, over 1,000 entries have been received from nearly 100 countries. The prize winners have worked with ex-child soldiers in Uganda, young people in Israel-Palestine, villagers hit by drug wars in Colombia, tribal groups in Papua New Guinea and more. This year’s categories are:
- Women-led peacebuilding
- Youth-led peacebuilding
- Music & performing arts
- Three organisations will each receive $10,000 and online promotion of their work. A representative from each of the winning organisations will receive an all-expenses paid trip to the award ceremony at PeaceCon 2019 in Washington, DC.
