Nominations are now open for the World’s Children’s prize that is awarded for outstanding contributions for the rights of the child. It is an annual educational program for young people about the rights of the child, democracy, the environment and global friendship.
Eligibility Criteria
People (children and adults) or organizations can be nominated. Self-nominations will not be accepted.
The longer the period and/or the harder the circumstances under which your candidate has been fighting for the rights of the child, the more likely that they will be picked as a World’s Children’s prize candidate.
