Symbols of peace

 This peace sign was used widely in the 60's to express Peace. It was originally designed in 1958 by Gerald Holtom, a design student and activitst from England, to promote PEACE and Nuclear Disarmament

The peace dove flying with an olive branch in its beak is one of the most commonly featured symbols for the day. In Judaism, Christianity, and Islam a white dove is generally a sign for peace. The dove can also represent "hope for peace" or a peace offering from one person to another.

 The Nobel Peace Prizes

According to Alfred Nobel's will, the Nobel Peace Prize should be awarded "to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between the nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses." The Peace Prize is awarded annually in Norway's capital city of Oslo, unlike the other Nobel Prizes, which are awarded in Stockholm, Sweden.

The list of Noble Peace Prizes is huge, so here you are the first and the last ones.

In 1901, winners Henry Dunant, founder of the Red Cross, and renowned pacifist Frederic Passy shared the first Nobel Prize in Peace for their influential humanitarian efforts and peace movements.
