The Global Centre for Pluralism officially opens the submission period for the 2027 Global Pluralism Award. The Award celebrates the extraordinary social organisations and civil society, government and private sector initiatives that tackle the most pressing issues of our time, while recognising difference as an asset, not a liability, for healthy and prosperous societies.“Around the world, we see a backlash against difference, but we also see champions who refuse to let that fear win,” says Meredith Preston McGhie, Secretary General of the Global Centre for Pluralism. “The Global Pluralism Award exists to shine a light on these forms of pluralism in action. We invite the world to show us who is building bridges, challenging narratives, and proving that diverse societies can be the most stable and equitable.”
Eligibility and Selection
The Global Pluralism Award recognises a range of actors working to build more inclusive societies. Eligible candidates include organisations, artists and musicians, academics, policymakers, civil society organisations, social enterprises, corporations, educational institutions, public agencies and others. Organisations or individuals can self-nominate or be nominated by a third party. In this case, the nominee is required to complete the full application themselves, so we encourage the nominator to provide ample time for the nominee to put forth a compelling application.
