The winner will be chosen by a panel of judges consisting of renowned practitioners from international organizations, governments, and the private sector, who will also attend the ceremony.
The prize would help fund projects while providing increased international visibility for the participant’s work. It is part of the Centre’s Creativity and Innovation Initiative and is meant to stimulate forward-thinking and creative solutions to current issues in international security.
