The shortlist for the 2021 World Mayor Prize, which was announced on 3 February 2021, includes 32 mayors from 21 countries whose leadership during the Covid pandemic has provided their communities with protection and assurance. To be shortlisted, mayors also had to show an awareness of the long-term implications of the pandemic. Returning to the ‘old normal’ should not be the aim. In order to protect communities from future natural or man-made disasters, cities must become Stronger | Fairer | Greener.

Mayors shortlisted for the World Mayor Prize and Honours come from some of the world’s largest metropolises but also from many medium-sized and smaller towns and cities. World Mayor 2021 will honour those who have convinced their fellow citizens that they strive for a civic society that is more equal, united and tolerant.

Please vote now by supporting and commenting on the mayor from the below shortlist who you think deserves to be considered for the World Mayor Prize and honours. Testimonials, comments and votes are accepted until the end of April 2021.

Please note: In order to allow mayors from smaller towns to compete on equal terms with those from large cities, we value the strength and convictions of statements more than the number of votes.

All email votes are counted manually and testimonials are read by the editors of World Mayor. Fraudulent and manipulated votes will not be counted. Multiple votes will be deleted. While we prefer comments to be in English, we accept them also in other languages, but please use Roman characters (Latin alphabet) otherwise your message might become distorted.
