View the 2024 – 2025 winner and shortlist.
The first prize was awarded in 1977.
The objectives of the Prize are to recognize work that promotes and encourages peace and reconciliation in Ireland, a greater understanding between the peoples of Britain and Ireland, or closer co-operation between the partners of the European Community. These are the ideals which inspired Christopher Ewart-Biggs and to which his widow Jane subsequently dedicated herself.
The Prize is administered by the Ewart-Biggs Trust, which includes children of Christopher and Jane Ewart-Biggs, Robin and Kate; and by the Judges’ panel, chaired by Professor Roy Foster.
