The prize
In 1989, The Children of the Earth Prize was awarded for the very first time. 100.000 Norwegian kroner (about 12.500 euro or 16.500 USD) were awarded to Inger Harrington of Ålesund, Norway, who since then has been working with street children in Brazil. In 2010, the annual prize amount was increased to 150.000 kroner.
Some 500 children from all the schools in the community
of North Cape attend the annual award ceremony. The North
Cape School of Culture provides a locally inspired program
of high quality.
