Created in 2008, the annual Peace and Sport Awards reward organizations and individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to peace, dialogue and social stability in the world through sport.

From specific field programs to global initiatives, the winners have led projects that are symbolic of sport’s capacity to reconcile divided or opposed communities. They are an inspiration to other stakeholders for what sport can achieve on the global stage.

This year the ceremony of Peace and Sport Awards will be held in Monaco Thursday 7th of December, as part of the evening of Peace and Sport International Forum Gala.

On this occasion eleven awards will be granted to exceptional initiatives promoting peace through sport! Champions for Peace and the Jury will respectively be in charge of selecting the winners of the “In memory of Guo Chan: coup de Coeur by Champions for Peace” and “Special Jury Prize” Awards.
