Nominations are being sought for the international 2007 Tipperary Peace Award.
Last year's winner was retired Church of Ireland Archbishop of Armagh Dr Robin Eames and other recipients have included Bob Geldof, Mikhail Gorbachev, the late Irish-born Iraqi aid worker Margaret Hassan.
Founded in 1984, the Tipperary honour recognises people who promote peace in Ireland and abroad.
Organiser Martin Quinn said: "Recipients are recognised for their courage in the face of adversity, for their perseverance through the most despairing of situations, and for their vision and foresight through disillusion and hardship."
The award will be announced in early 2008 and presented during the Tipperary International Festival of Peace in Tipperary Town in April.
