World Mayor 2012
Nominations sought

The City Mayors Foundation now seeks nominations for the 2012 World Mayor Prize. The Prize is awarded every two years to a mayor who has made outstanding contributions to his / her community and has developed a vision for urban living and working that is relevant to towns and cities across the world.

While it is up to the constituents of a mayor to judge his / her achievements, the City Mayors Foundation is seeking candidates who are at least in their second term of office. Anyone wishing to nominate a mayor is also asked to consider whether his / her nominee is likely to agree to the City Mayors Code of Ethics, as mayors wishing to be considered for the World Mayor Prize will be asked to sign up to the Code.

Nominations must be accompanied by a thoughtful supporting statement.

When contemplating the shortlist for the 2012 World Mayor Prize, the City Mayors Foundation will take into account the number of nominations a mayor has received from separate individuals and organisations and, more importantly, the persuasiveness of supporting statements.

Timetable
Nominations will be accepted until the middle of May 2012. An initial longlist of candidates has been published. A shortlist of 25 nominees will be published in early June 2012. The winner of the 2012 World Mayor Prize and other results of the World Mayor Project will be announced in early December 2012.

Please contact us if you have any further questions. Please insert 'World Mayor 2012' in the subject line of any email.

Background
The City Mayors Foundation, the international think tank on urban affairs, organises the World Mayor Project and awards the World Mayor Prize. The Prize, which has been given since 2004, honours mayors with the vision, passion and skills to make their cities incredible places to live in, work in and visit. The World Mayor Project aims to show what outstanding mayors can achieve and raise their profiles nationally and internationally.

The organisers of the World Mayor Project are looking for city leaders who excel in qualities like: leadership and vision, management abilities and integrity, social and economic awareness, ability to provide security and to protect the environment as well as the will and ability to foster good relations between communities from different cultural, racial and social backgrounds. The winner receives the artistically acclaimed World Mayor trophy, while the runner-up is given the World Mayor Commendation.
