Age limit
The World’s Children’s Prize programme is open to anyone from the age of ten up to the age of 17. The upper age limit is because the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child says that you are a child until you turn 18. There are several reasons for the lower age limit.

Too upsetting
To be able to vote in the Global Vote, you must first read carefully about the three candidates and the children they fight for. Sometimes, the children’s life stories are horrible, and can be frightening for younger children. Unfortunately, we are not yet able to create resources for anyone under ten.

Talk to an adult
The candidates work for children who sometimes have been subjected to terrible violations of their rights. Even children over ten can find it upsetting to read about them. So it’s a good idea to ask an adult to help you decide whether you and your friends should participate in this year’s programme. It is also important that you have an adult to talk to once you have read the stories.
