The Duluth Peace Hero Award is an annual cash prize given in recognition to a local community member who is “making a positive change” right where they live. Nominated by their peers, friends, or family for their effort and their impact, the winner of this award will be awarded a cash prize of $1,000.
Who
Nominations are open to anyone and are unlimited. From teens to elders—we are asking people to recognize someone making a positive change in their family, workplace, or community.
When
Each fall, we will announce the Peace Hero Award and open online nominations to the community. On the eve of the November election, the winner will be announced at an award ceremony where all nominees will be invited and acknowledged.
Why
Nothing is more powerful than being noticed and acknowledged by the important people in your life. Collectively, we will show Duluth what we value: peace, unity, collaboration, and each other.

You make it all happen!

It’s a labor of love. We are volunteering our nights, weekends and Kids. Everything you see here is made possible by donated time and money.
Peace is our Purpose, not in our job descriptions.
