WORLD MAYOR 2023  The World Mayor Prize forFriendship between Cities In 2023, the City Mayors Foundation will award the World Mayor Friendship Prize to a mayor and city that have made outstanding contributions to friendship, partnership and cooperation between towns and cities at home and across borders. Cities acting on their own can be beacons of excellence. But when cities work together, learn from each other, share resources, exchange ideas and, above all, encourage their citizens to meet and form friendships, they can truly become a force for good. At a time of strife, conflict and war between nations, cities, when joining forces, can become peacemakers. The 2023 World Mayor Project will feature mayors who promote peace and prosperity through friendship between cities. By awarding the Friendship Prize, the 2023 World Mayor Project also aims to encourage acts of generosity and kindness towards less fortunate towns and cities, including towards those affected by conflicts and natural disasters. IN GREATER DETAIL WORLD MAYOR ELECTION 2023 World Mayor 2023: Citizens will decide Citizens rather than a panel of ‘experts’ decide which mayors and cities will be honoured by the 2023 World Mayor Project. Since the inception of World Mayor in 2004, millions of people from across the world have taken part in the biennial Project. Citizens suggested, nominated and voted for mayors who, in their opinion, deserved to be honoured. Being nominated for the World Mayor Prize has provided mayors with international recognition, while the interest in the nominations by domestic and international media has benefited their cities. We invite you to take part in World Mayor 2023.

CODE OF ETHICS Code of Ethics for city leaders The City Mayors Foundation and the World Mayor Project were established in 2004 to promote, encourage and facilitate good local government. To strengthen local government further, a Code of Ethics for city leaders, who wish to perform their duties beyond all reproach, has been established. IN GREATER DETAIL WORLD MAYOR SCULPTURE World Mayor Prize sculpture shows courage and conviction City Mayors commissioned French artist Manuel Ferrari to design a sculpture that was as unique as the city of the winning mayor. City Mayors' founding fellow, Tann vom Hove, said: “We asked Manuel Ferrari to produce a design that shows what an inspirational mayor can achieve if they build on strong foundations.” The World Mayor Prize has been sculpted by Berlin-based scalptor Kaspar Swankey since 2004.
