Nominations being accepted for International Children’s Peace Prize 2011 – KidsRights Foundation
KidRights is now accepting nominations of a child for consideration for the International Children’s Peace Prize 2011. The deadline for sending in nominations is 10th May 2011. The nominations can be sent to info@childrenspeaceprize.org. The nomination form is attached. The International Children’s Peace Prize is an initiative of KidsRights and is presented annually to a child for his or her devotion to children’s rights, anywhere in the world. The goal of the Prize is twofold: it is a sign of recognition for the winners, and it also offers the winner a platform to promote his or her ideals and causes. In this way, the messages that these young heroes convey can reach a broader public, thereby making a greater impact in the promotion of children’s rights. The Children’s Peace Prize is accompanied by an award of €100,000 to be invested in projects closely connected to the winner’s area of devotion. Nominees for the Children’s Peace Prize can come from any person, in any country, with knowledge of an exceptional child dedicated to promoting children’s rights. An independent Expert Committee assesses the applications and selects the final nominees. More information can be found on www.childrenspeaceprize.org
This year the International Children’s Peace Prize will be celebrated around the Day of the Rights of the Child: the 20th of November 2011. We would like to invite you to inform us about the children you meet and work with and whom you feel might be a good candidate for this Prize. Any boy or girl between 12 and 18 years old who has a clear history of standing up and fighting for the rights of him/herself and other children can be nominated for the International Children’s Peace Prize. It is important that the child has an active approach in accomplishing his or her goal.
KidsRights calls out to everyone worldwide to nominate a child who would deserve the International Children’s Peace Prize. The deadline for sending in nomination forms is 10th May 2011. The nominations can be send to info@childrenspeaceprize.org
