The International Play Association (IPA) is calling for submissions for its Right to Play Award Programme. Nominations are invited from organsations and individuals that represent profit or not for profit organisations.
Projects must demonstrate how they protect, promote or improve the child’s right to play. Appropriate projects for nomination include activity programmes, public awareness campaigns, media products, implemented national or local legislation, design of spaces and design of play items.
The IPA Right to Play Award Programme was created to recognise and celebrate projects that use innovative and practical ways to implement Article 31 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). The awards provide an opportunity for winners and nominees to showcase their work to both their community and the world.
Award winners will be announced at the 23rd Triennial IPA World Conference hosted in Christchurch, New Zealand in November 2026 and featured on the IPA World website.
Closing date for submitting nominations: 25 September 2026
Please note that the programme is only open to current members of the International Play Association.
