Description
1) Objective
The Right Livelihood Award was established in 1980 to “honour and support courageous people and organisations offering visionary and exemplary solutions to the root causes of global problems”. It has become widely known as the ‘Alternative Nobel Prize’ and there are now 194 Laureates from 76 countries. The Right Livelihood Award has no categories. It recognises that, in striving to meet the human challenges of today’s world, the most inspiring and remarkable work often defies any standard classification.
The Right Livelihood Award is not an award for the world’s political, scientific or economic elite, but an award for the people and their work and struggles for a better future. The Laureates come from all walks of life: they are farmers, teachers, doctors, or simply, concerned citizens. The Right Livelihood Award accepts proposals from everyone through an open nomination process.
2) Eligibility
Anyone except Right Livelihood Award Jury and staff members – can propose anyone (individuals or organisations).
3) Location
Applications can come from across the world.
4) Budget
The award varies depending on the type of organisation or individual. Normally, the Foundation makes three cash awards and one Honorary Award each year. The cash awards are intended for work in progress or the extension of existing activities; they are never given for personal use.
5) Application
Proposals, preferably written in English, need to be submitted both electronically by filling in the form and as a paper copy via regular mail to their office in Geneva. Please send only one copy, preferably printed double-sided. The deadline for submission of proposals to be valid for the current year is 1 March 2024. Any proposals received after this date will normally be held for consideration in the following year.
