Nominations for the 2027 Zayed Award for Human Fraternity remain open until October 1, 2026, honouring individuals and organizations that promote peaceful coexistence among peoples. The award was established after the 2019 Abu Dhabi meeting between the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Ahmed Al-Tayeb, and the late Pope Francis, where the two religious leaders signed the Document on Human Fraternity. Named after the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the award includes a US$1 million prize and reflects his moral legacy and humanitarianism. Since 2019, the award has recognized 20 honourees from 20 countries for contributions to dialogue and solidarity.
