2023 Edition
In the current year, the international jury will evaluate candidates divided into four new sectors:
First Section
Peace, solidarity and inclusion.
Selection criteria: candidates who protect peace where it is threatened, help to rebuild it, facilitate dialogue. Particular preference is given to those who show solidarity and assistance in need, with attention to people of all ages and conditions, in a bond of mutual commitment.
Second compartment
War journalism and reporting from the front.
Selection criteria:: aggression against Ukraine is a violation of the freedoms of others. It is also violence against people and things that evokes tragedies that we believed to have been overcome in Europe. The award recognizes heroic examples of journalism from the front which, in addition to testifying to the torment of the victims and the arrogance of the oppressors, document the spirit of survival and mutual aid among civilians.
Third Section
Rights and dignity of women.
Selection criteria: for over two centuries, the principle of respect for the person and his dignity has been fully accepted among the fundamental rights of man - a term that neglects women, half of humanity. Efforts are underway throughout the world to promote the dignity of all, men and women. The award contributes by honoring contemporary examples of the struggle in favor of total gender equality, so that the barriers to women's emancipation are broken down even at the cost of risk, even at the greatest personal sacrifice.
Fourth Section
Common destiny of Earth and Humanity.
Selection criteria: the Earth and Humanity are unique, complex and, let's face it, sacred entities. Part of a vast evolving universe, both possess the same destiny, threatened with destruction by human behavior. The award honors those who, aware of the seriousness of the situation, favor change in minds and hearts; who strengthens the social contract between human beings with the natural one between us and nature; and who promotes that magnificent multiplicity of interdependent and complementary life forms necessary for the survival of both: planet and life.
