You have only two weeks left to apply for the third edition of the UCLG Peace Prize. Does your local government have an initiative that promotes peace in the broadest sense of the word? Then apply now for this prize and inspire other local governments around the world.

The UCLG Peace Prize is a global award for local governments that implement successful initiatives in peacebuilding, conflict prevention, post-conflict reconstruction, and reconciliation. It celebrates successful initiatives undertaken by local governments and stimulates others to follow suit. Moreover, it aims at generating international public attention for the role local governments play in ensuring sustainable and peaceful development. The prize is open for award to local governments who either themselves work for peace and conflict resolution in their own area, or provide positive assistance to local governments in conflict and fragile areas, which includes pre-and post-conflict situations, but also areas that have experienced peace for decades.

Submitting your initiative is very easy,using the application form that can be found here, or at the Peace Prize website. You will be asked to describe the initiative of your local government in a maximum of 500 words. The deadline for submission is the 1st of March. After a technical scoring by the evaluation committee, the jury will select five finalists who will be invited to make a documentary about their initiative which will be shared during the UCLG World Congress in Deajeon in October 2022. The finalists will be sponsored to present their peace initiatives during this congress that will also feature the award ceremony. The winning local government will receive a prize package of €20.000 to strengthen its initiative or facilitate exchange with other local governments.
