Prizewinners
Anybody may nominate candidates for The Children of the
Earth Prize. The winner may be individuals, groups or organizations
anywhere in the world, provided that their activity is serious,
well accounted for and comparable with the statutes of the
foundation. The statutes favor projects to improve the living
conditions and life prospects for destitute children, anywhere.
There are no particular application forms to be filled out,
a written resume submitted via regular mail or e-mail is
a good beginning. For details, see our CONTACT US! page further
on.
It is a key condition that the prize money is used exclusively
for the benefit of the children in question, and in a way that
can be monitored by The Children of the Earth Foundation.
