Call for Nomination – The Asean Prize 2020 for outstanding asean citizens (ASEAN Prize Trophy and a cash prize of US$20,000)
Dato Lim Jock Hoi, Secretary-General of ASEAN said “At a time when the world is facing an unprecedented challenge in COVID-19, we see the best of humanity through the sacrificial efforts of frontline medical and health workers, and those who keep essential public services running at great risks to their lives. Their examples remind us that there are many heroes out there and we should shine a light in their work.” He emphasized that “ASEAN Prize is one way that ASEAN honours their outstanding contributions to our community.”
Established in 2018, this annual regional award honors exemplary achievements of an ASEAN citizen or an ASEAN based-organization in deepening collaboration between ASEAN Member States and/or with the world through people-to-people connectivity, and social or economic cooperation to benefit the peoples of ASEAN, among others.
