The World of Children Awards honor ordinary people doing extraordinary work on behalf of children. Each year World of Children places a global Call for Nominations seeking to identify selfless individuals whose unwavering commitment to children makes the world a better place for children to live and succeed.

Two separate $100,000 awards and one $15,000 award will be presented at the annual World of Children Awards Ceremony in New York, New York, USA in November 2005. Finalists are selected from hundreds of global applicants. The World of Children International Advisory Council, headed by Muhammad Ali, boxing legend and United Nation's Ambassador of Peace, participate in the process of determining the World of Children Award recipients. By honoring child advocates, the World of Children, Inc., hopes to bring these advocates, their work and their organizations to the forefront of international acclaim and attention.
