Since 1967, the UNESCO International Literacy Prizes have rewarded excellence and innovation in the field of literacy. Over 495 projects and programmes around the world have already received recognition and support for their excellent work.

Who can apply and who can nominate?

Governments, non-governmental organizations and individuals who promote literacy through projects and programmes are welcome to apply.
