Adamowicz Award for the promotion of freedom, solidarity and equality: nominate your candidate by 31 October 

The Adamovich Prize 2022 for courage and excellence in the promotion of freedom, solidarity and equality invites international organisations to nominate a candidate for the prize by 31 October. The nominee – a person or organisation – can be from any country in the world and must actively combat intolerance, hate-speech and xenophobia.

Nominees may be proposed by the​ members of the European Committee of the Regions, any city or regional council, as well as by international organisations with strong engagement and relevant expertise in the fields of the Award. 

The award honours the life and example of Paweł Adamowicz, Mayor of Gdańsk from 1998 until his murder on 13 January 2019. His murder was preceded by an upsurge of hate speech directed against him. The establishment of this Award is also recognition of everyone who works with courage and integrity against intolerance, radicalisation, hate speech, oppression and xenophobia, and who works to promote equal opportunities, social integration and fundamental rights.

The deadline for submitting nominations is 31 October 2022. 

The award ceremony will take place in January 2023.
