Every year, the International Peace Alliance (IPA) invites artists, musicians, filmmakers, humanitarian and human rights activists, and public figures to its International Peace Festival (IPF)'s annual Peace Ambassadors Awards Gala and Grand Ball in Toronto to honor their artistic and leadership achievements and contributions. These awards consist of three major categories: the IPF Peace Merit Awards, the IPA Peace Leadership Awards, and the IPF Film For Peace Awards.
