The Sydney Peace Prize is Australia's only international peace prize, awarded annually by the Sydney Peace Foundation, a not-for-profit organization formerly associated with the University of Sydney. Established in 1998, the prize aims to promote peace with justice and the practice of nonviolence by honoring individuals or organizations who have made significant global contributions in these areas.The prize carries an award of $50,000 and a handmade steel trophy. Recipients are selected by a seven-person jury for their work that demonstrates an enduring commitment to human rights, conflict resolution, and addressing structural violence like poverty. The Foundation often chooses laureates whose work is seen as controversial, aiming to stimulate public debate and discussion on issues of social justice. Past winners include Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Noam Chomsky, Black Lives Matter, and the Uluru Statement from the Heart. The 2025 laureate is jurist Navi Pillay.
