ABOUT THE US PEACE PRIZE
C.1 What is the purpose
of the US Peace Prize?
The US Peace
Memorial Foundation’s US Peace Prize recognizes the most outstanding Americans
who have publicly opposed military solutions rather than diplomacy and
global cooperation to solve international problems. Successful candidates will have taken a stand
against military interventions such as invasion, occupation, production of
weapons of mass destruction, use of weapons, threats of war, or other actions
that threaten peace.
We hope to inspire
others to speak out for peace and to work to end the hatred, ignorance, greed,
and intolerance that lead to war by honoring courageous role models and
leaders. You may read about previous recipients at https://www.uspeaceprize.org.
C.2 How can I nominate
a candidate for the annual US Peace Prize?
1. Nominations are
accepted from recipients of the US Peace Prize, people and
organizations currently honored in the US Peace Registry, and Founding
Members between January and the end of April each year.
2. Each qualified
nominator may nominate one
outstanding and deserving individual or organization per year. To be considered for the US Peace Prize, the
nominee must: (a) be a U.S. Citizen, permanent resident, or organization; (b)
have documented peace activities in the US Peace Registry; and (c)
be active in antiwar/peace work within the 16 months prior to April 30 of the
nomination year.
3. The US Peace Memorial Foundation’s Board of
Directors makes the final decision for awarding the US Peace Prize. Information published in the US Peace Registry is the only data
considered by the Board of Directors when making the selection. If you would
like to nominate a person or organization not included in the US Peace Registry, please request
that they submit their antiwar/peace activities for consideration by completing
an Individual or Organization application
form before April 30. Those already listed in the US Peace
Registry should
review and update their information by sending proposed changes and additions
to Registry@USPeaceMemorial.org.
