Tomorrow’s Peacebuilders are the global awards for local peacebuilding. Awarded annually, the Tomorrow’s Peacebuilders Awards offer international recognition for grassroots peace activists in conflict-affected countries worldwide. These are inspiring individuals who are building a better tomorrow for their communities, in the world’s most fragile and needy places.
In the last three years, 963 entries were received from 91 countries. The prize winners worked with ex-child soldiers in Uganda, young people in Palestine-Palestine, villagers hit by drug wars in Colombia, tribal groups in Papua New Guinea and more.
Previous winner Vahidin Omanovic from Bosnia said: “It is a great honour for us to win a ‘Tomorrow’s Peacebuilder’ award. Ten years of hard work, influencing the population of Bosnia and Herzegovina to overcome their prejudices and hate, have been recognised and celebrated with the award. This is an enormous boost to our work.”
These are global awards. There is no geographical restriction on applications. In order to be eligible to enter, you must:
