The Max Mark-Cranbrook Global Peacemaker Awards is an annual international awards program that recognizes and celebrates individuals for their exceptional contributions to domestic and international peace, and is one of Rotary International's most prestigious awards, presented with The Center for Peace and Conflict Studies (CPCS), Wayne State University.[1]
History The Max Mark-Cranbrook Global Peacemaker Awards were founded with the aim of promoting peace, reconciliation, and conflict resolution in a world often plagued by violence and discord. The awards seek to acknowledge the remarkable efforts of individuals and organizations that have made significant strides in fostering peace and harmony across borders, as well as tackling some of the gravest social justice issues such as gendered violence, human trafficking and modern slavery, gun violence and mass incarceration, human rights, addiction and depression, indigenous rights, and other issues. [2] The famed annual Cranbrook Global Peacemaker Lecture was incorporated into Wayne State's Center for Peace and Conflict Studies in its annual Community Peacemaker Awards program in 2009.[3]
Award Categories The awards program features two categories to recognize various aspects of peacebuilding and conflict resolution, including: Global Awardees - This category honors leaders who have dedicated their lives to advancing the cause of peace and have a substantial record of accomplishment and who have demonstrated exceptional leadership in peacemaking efforts.
Community Awardees: Celebrating community leaders who have made notable contributions to peace and conflict resolution, inspiring their peers and communities.
Nomination and Selection Process Nominees for the Max Mark-Cranbrook Global Peacemaker Awards are typically submitted by a panel of experts, organizations, and the general public. The selection process involves a rigorous evaluation of each nominee's contributions to peace, their impact, and the sustainability of their efforts. A distinguished panel of judges, comprising experts in peace and conflict resolution, carefully assesses the nominations and selects the winners in each category.
