This is the inaugural UNESCO Prize of its kind, and it is exceptional in that it highlights accomplishments that enhance and advance women's and girls' access to education and, consequently, the quality of their lives

- Governments of UNESCO Member States or non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in formal alliance with UNESCO may submit nominations. Up to three people, groups, or institutions that are significantly and creatively advancing women's and girls' education may be nominated. It is not possible to nominate oneself.

- For additional information, interested applicants are encouraged to get in touch with the Prize Secretariat, an approved UNESCO partner organisation, or their nation's Permanent Delegation to UNESCO.

Only NGOs with formal partnerships with UNESCO and National Commissions for UNESCO/Permanent Delegations to UNESCO may access the online platform where nominations must be made in either English or French.

On or around October 11, 2024, as part of the International Day of the Girl celebrations, the Director-General of UNESCO will reveal the 2024 laureates who will receive the award based on the Jury's recommendations.
