Laureate Award Ceremony

The World Food Prize Laureate Award Ceremony rivals that of the Nobel Prize, drawing over 800 people from more than 75 countries. 

Each year, world-class performers take the stage to honor the World Food Prize Laureate. Past performers have included Ray Charles, John Denver, Chachi Tadesse and Kathak Gunjan. Following the Ceremony, the celebration continues at the Laureate Award Dinner or Reception. Tickets to the Laureate Award Ceremony are my invitation only.
