Global Peace Photo Award

Global Peace Photo Award

The Global Peace Photo Award aims to discover the best picture of the better side of humans and the positive aspects of changes in this world. It recognises and promotes photographers worldwide whose pictures capture human efforts towards a peaceful world and the quest for beauty and goodness in our lives. The award goes to those photographs that best express the idea that our future lies in peaceful coexistence.

Inspired by Nobel Peace Laureates 1911 Alfred Fried and Tobias Asser, it celebrates all kinds of pacifism and disarmament of individuals and society.

The award shows the various facets of peacefulness. It completes the image of humans by adding their good sides. It honours the pictures of successes rather than failures, empathy rather than hatred, things worth preserving rather than destruction, encouragement rather than agony, and the human right to beauty.

Part of the Global Peace Photo Award is the Children's Peace Image of the Year, a call for young people under the age of 14 years.
