They gain faith in the future and a chance to demand respect for their rights. In the Global Vote, the children decide who receives their prestigious award for their work for the rights of the child. The candidates for the Prize are chosen by a child jury who are experts in the rights of the child through their own experiences. The Prize Laureates become role models for millions of children. The prize money is used to help some of the world's most vulnerable children to a better life. The patrons of the World's Children's Prize include Nelson Mandela, Queen Silvia of Sweden, Aung San Suu Kyi and Graça Machel.

why does it have to be a contest? aren''t all their causes worthy and of great significance? All of these child activists should be given awards regardless. No child is better than the other.

@Mtthokozani I'm not being negative. second, I do not agree that ll presidents should be given nobel peace prizes of course. That analogy is screwed and false.

@gorengyan  Why do people like you always have to turn everything into politics? Why does Obama have a nobel prize? Don't you think all presidents should be given nobel prize? Just stop with your negativity
