A previous Tipperary Peace Award winner, US Secretary of State John Kerry
Tipperary Peace Convention has announced that it is now accepting nominations for the 2018 Tipperary International Peace Award.
The nomination process is open to members of the public and to representatives of organisations and associations. A short list of nominees will be announced in early 2019 and the winner will be announced shortly thereafter.
The Award will subsequently be presented in Tipperary on a date to be confirmed in 2019.
The Tipperary Peace Award was founded in 1984 with the first recipient being the late Seán McBride, one of the founders of Amnesty International. Past recipients include former South African President the late Nelson Mandela, former President of Ireland, Professor Mary McAleese and Senator Martin McAleese, the late Senator Edward Kennedy & Ambassador Jean Kennedy Smith, Pakistani school girl Malala Yousafzai, former UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, former US Secretary of State, John Kerry, the Syrian Civil Defence White Helmets and the 2017 recipient former Colombian President, Juan Manuel Santos.
100 years on from the Great War we like to think that modern Tipperary is now known for its efforts to promote peace and peaceful co-operation on a national and international stage. Tipperary Peace Convention is playing its part to promote the message of peace and to bring people together to share in the lessons of the past in planning for a peaceful future.
Tipperary Peace Convention now welcomes nominations for the 2018 Award. Nominations must be submitted in writing and should include a brief resume of the person/s work for peace and why you consider that the person/s should receive the Tipperary International Peace Award.
