Nomination of candidates

All prize winners are chosen by the foundation’s board of trustees, which makes its decisions independently. The board of trustees welcomes nominations from the general public – an individual, however, cannot nominate themselves. Nominations require a detailed explanatory statement including a description of the accomplishments and publications justifying the individual’s candidature for the Peace Prize.

The members of the Peace Prize foundation’s board of trustees are:

• Stephan Detjen (Deutschlandradio, Berlin)
• Prof. Ulrich Khuon (Deutsches Theater, Berlin)
• Prof. Dr. Karl-Josef Kuschel (Eberhard-Karls-Universität, Tübingen)
• Felicitas von Lovenberg (Frankfurt)
• Prof. Dr. Karl Schlögel (Berlin)
• Janne Teller (New York)
• Matthias Ulmer (Eugen Ulmer Verlag, Stuttgart)
• Thomas Wrensch (Buchhandlung Graff, Braunschweig)
• Heinrich Riethmüller (Osiandersche Buchhandlungen, Tübingen), Chairman of the bord of trustees as President of the German Publishers and Booksellers Association
