Details

THE GLOBAL PEACE PHOTO AWARD recognises and promotes photographers from around the world whose images capture the human quest for a peaceful world and the search 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. Inner peace, peaceful coexistence, peace within a community, peace between nations, international peace policy – what image do we have of these? While many major photography awards focus on the conflicts and crises, wars and disasters on our planet, professional awards usually fail to recognise what people are also capable of. The Global Peace Photo Award, launched in 2013, fills this gap: It shows the facets of peacefulness. It complements the image of people with their good sides. It honours those images that tell of success, not failure. Of empathy, not hatred. Of what is worth preserving instead of destruction. Of encouragement instead of agony. And of the human right to beauty. In memory of the Austrian Nobel Peace Prize winner Alfred Fried in 1911, he honours all forms of pacifism and disarmament in both an individual and societal context.
