HEC Montréal International Center for Media and Society Launches Global Media Peace Awards 2026

At a time when conflicts around the world are increasingly complex, interconnected, and prolonged, there is a growing need for media content that deepens public understanding, provides context, and examines pathways toward prevention and resolution. Only through such coverage can the intensity and horror of conflicts lead to improved understanding and meaningful change. 

In response, HEC Montréal, in partnership with global organisations, presents the 3rd Global Media Peace Awards on Conflict Prevention and Conflict Resolution. The Awards recognise and celebrate media content that explains the causes, differing perspectives, consequences and solutions – contributing to improved understanding, greater empathy and agency among audiences. 

The organisers invite broadcasters and producders to join this peace movement. Submit your news stories and programs, spark dialogue, and help build a more just and harmonious world.
