Category "Individual" 6th edition 2023-2024
This category will recognise an internationally renowned individual who has made a fundamental contribution to cultural rights for local sustainable development. The Individual award will be designated by the Jury, without an open competition process.
The organisers invited all the members of UCLG (direct or indirect), as well as other interested individuals and organisations, to make a spontaneous nomination of a personality by using the nomination form created for this purpose, and emailing it to cultureaward@uclg.org.
The nomination shall be duly motivated, stating explicitly the contribution of the personality concerned to the understanding of the relation existing between culture and sustainable development, including the promotion of cultural rights for local sustainable development and to the SDGs (UN 2030 Agenda) or the New Urban Agenda.
