 CoronaVirus and World Mayor
Following the Covid-19 pandemic, it was with regret that we had to announce changes to World Mayor 2020. We had originally planned to release the 2020 shortlist at the end of July and announce the winner of the 2020 World Mayor Prize and other honours in January 2021. Unfortunately, that was no longer possible.

Since February 2020, towns and cities across the world have been been confronted with tremendous challenges, challenges they were often not prepared for. The City Mayors Foundation, the organisers of the World Mayor Projects since 2004, responded by diverting much of its resources to researching and reporting on the effects of the pandemic on the most vulnerable communities and sections of society.


Timeline 2021
The first nomination phase of World Mayor 2020, re-titled World Mayor 2021, was extended to December 2020. Between August and December, we published regularly updated longlists. In January 2021, instead of announcing the 2020 honours, we published the names of those mayors shortlisted for the 2021 World Mayor Prize. World Mayor participants voted until the end of April for their favourite mayor from the shortlist. The list of Finalists was published on 1 July. The winners of the 2021 World Mayor Prize and Awards were on 14 September.


Criteria 2021
The scope of the World Mayor Project will be widened to take account of the effects the CoronaVirus pandemic had on large and small communities and the lessons to be learnt. There is no doubt that cities, towns and villages will have to become Stronger | Fairer | Greener’.

The World Mayor Project 2021 proposes to honour mayors whose leadership during the Covid pandemic has provided their communities with protection and assurance. We are looking for mayors who showed outstanding management and social skills but also, and more importantly, acted at all times with compassion towards those most affected by the virus.

But looking back is not enough. All cities, of whatever size, wherever they are, and irrespective of the severity with which they were hit by Covid-19, must become more resilient - structurally, economically, socially and environmentally. World Mayor 2021 wishes to honour mayors who understand the challenges ahead and are preparing to meet them. Full criteria
