The activity is organized for the seventh
consecutive year in the framework of the activities
of the International Day of Peace.
"We invite all institutions and the society at large
to nominate their candidates for the Peace Prize,
and to recognize those who work for a culture of
peace in our country," said Jara Velásquez.
The prize has four categories. The Civil Society
category has two sub categories, one addressed to
individual citizens who, in the course of their
life, have made outstanding actions to promote a
Culture of Peace, and another, which applies to
institutions and civil society organizations.
The State category is oriented to authorities,
officials and public servants and public
institutions.
The Media category has two sub categories:
Individual Person which applies to men and women
working in media and communication whose work has
made a significant contribution to the
construction of a Culture of Peace; and
Institution, for media companies, print media and
radio and television programs.
The Private Company category includes all companies
or entrepreneurs who work with social responsibility
and who contribute to building a culture of peace.
Candidatures, whether individuals or institutions,
must be submitted by an institution, association,
company or corporate body, which can only submit one
candidate per category. Applications may not be
submitted by persons individually.
Registration of candidatures will culminate on
August 15th at MIMP headquarters, located in shred
Camana 616, Cercado de Lima, or the Women's
Emergency Centers located in the provinces, or by
writing to premioporlapaz@mimp.gob.pe.
The names of the winners will be announced in
September via the website of the MIMP and the Peace
Prizes will be presented at a ceremony to be
organized on the International Peace Day.
