UNESCO seeks nominations for the UNESCO-Sharjah Prize for Arab Culture
Deadline
31 December 2022
About the Prize
The Prize fulfils the organization’s fundamental mission of promoting intercultural dialogue by rewarding significant contributions made by two personalities, groups or institutions to the developing, raising awareness and spreading of Arab culture through artistic, intellectual, or promotional work that enhances mutual understanding. Proposed candidates should have earned an international reputation through meritorious action.
UNESCO encourages you to propose qualified candidates who deserve recognition for their literary, scientific or artistic achievements, as well as for their global dissemination of Arab culture.
The Prize is endowed with $60,000 (USD), divided equally between the two winners selected on the recommendation of an international jury, which will be created for this purpose.
We encourage you to nominate women and/or young people for this award, so that the list of candidates reflects UNESCO's commitment to youth and gender issues.

Candidatures can be submitted online only.
