award possible, and whose longstanding commitment to peace is an
inspiration to all of us," Grayevsky continued.

innocence can remind us that we can choose peace; Puti Puar of
Indonesia for "Peace is Action,"
an animation that shows how we can seek peace through resisting
online bullying; and Shubham Upreti
of India for "Mr. Peace," which
