The NOBULL WAR PRIZE

“For Distinguished Service in the Pursuit of Conflict, Chaos, and Global Destabilisation”

ABOUT THE PRIZE

The NOBULL WAR PRIZE is awarded annually to the individual, corporation, or government whose actions have most effectively undermined international peace, escalated conflict, or perpetuated humanitarian disasters. It is the moral inverse of the Nobel Peace Prize and reflects the grim truth that not all power is exercised for good.

The prize is administered by the Institute for Global Disorder, an independent body operating from an undisclosed tax-exempt location, proudly dedicated to documenting the world’s most destructive and cynical actors.

SELECTION CRITERIA

Nominees must have demonstrably:

  • Fuelled or escalated wars, invasions, or genocides

  • Obstructed international justice or peacekeeping

  • Supported regimes engaged in mass repression

  • Profited from weapons, fossil fuels, displacement, or surveillance

  • Promoted systemic disinformation or political radicalisation

Bonus marks are awarded for brazen hypocrisy. EG such as calling oneself a “patriot” while undermining democracy, or claiming to protect “life” while enabling mass death.
