How to Nominate

Any activity or actor which contributes broadly to the availability, conservation and protection of the world’s water resources, and to improved water conditions which contribute to the health of the planet’s inhabitants and ecosystems, is eligible to be nominated. The activities can be within the fields of education and awareness raising, human and international relations, research, water management or water-related local activities. The work of nominees should have great potential or proven impact.

The nomination period for the 2010 Stockholm Water Prize is now open. Please use the online form to nominate.

Nomination Procedure
Nominations should be submitted in English using the eletronic form. Nominations must clearly describe and explain the nominee's main achievements and emphasise their importance. To augment understanding of the achievements of the nominee, nominations are required to include at least two independent, informative letters of reference explaining, supporting and emphasising the nominee’s main achievements. Nomination guidelines are included in the form.

A nine-member international Nominating Committee reviews the nominations and recommends a Prize Laureate to the Board of the Stockholm Water Foundation, which makes the final decision. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences appoints the Committee members.

Please note that self-nominations and direct approaches to members of the Nominating Committee will disqualify any nominee from further consideration.
