IPF | FIP PEACE MERIT AWARDS
The IPF Celebrity Peace Ambassador Award is given annually by the IPF Awards Committee of the International Peace Festival (IPF) to a celebrity who uses their fame and influence to make a real difference in the world. The purpose of the award is to honour a man or woman of peace with the IPF Celebrity Peace Ambassador Award. The recipients are selected from personalities from the world of culture and entertainment who have stood up for human rights and for the spread of the principles of Peace and Solidarity in the world, and who made an outstanding contribution to international social justice and peace.
The IPF Honorary Artistic Award is given annually by the IPF Awards Committee of the International Peace Festival (IPF). The award celebrates artistic achievements that are not covered by existing IPF Awards, although prior winners of competitive IPF Awards are not excluded from receiving the Honorary Award. This award recognizes the specific nature of cultural and artistic work and the uniqueness of cultural and natural heritage conservation, protection and promotion as a critical contributor to peace. The award honours a man or woman whose exceptional artistic achievements, celebrate humanity, provoke the imagination, and encourage people to go further, by giving a new thrust in the regulation of unsafe social, economic and ecological practices, focusing on the development of more resilient conservation models and wide-spread approaches that balance the needs of human and natural habitats.
The IPF Lifetime Achievement Awards in Film, Music, and the Arts are three special IPF Awards that are awarded by the International Peace Festival (IPF) to professionals and performers who work in film, music, and other art forms and who, during their lifetimes, have made creative contributions of outstanding artistic significance in their chosen artistic field. These awards are given to men and women whose works explore the concept of peace through such categories as Space and Form, Qualities, Emotions/States, and People/Social and/or the centrality of peace as a cognitive and motivational subject through the use of local and universal symbols of peace within a variety of cultures and mediums.
