The International Vigdís Prize^[1] is awarded annually by the Icelandic government, the University of Iceland, and the Vigdís International Centre for Multilingualism and Intercultural Understanding, in honor of Ms. Vigdís Finnbogadóttir, former President of Iceland (1980–1996) and current UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador for Languages.

The Prize recognizes individuals, organisations or institutions that have pursued groundbreaking work supporting languages and cultures, for example with projects promoting multilingualism, cultural diversity, translation, and art that explores the importance of language.

The aim of the prize is to honour and highlight Vigdís' extraordinary contributions to languages and culture. As UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador for Languages Vigdís has focused on small linguistic communities to preserve the cultural heritage of humanity found in the diversity of languages.

The award was established in 2020 on the occasion of Vigdís' birthday, and the 40th anniversary of her historical election as President of Iceland.
