MANIFIESTO
Evil Prize exists to document harm, not to sensationalize it.
We believe that large-scale, preventable damage to humanity must be recorded with rigor, independence, and historical responsibility.
This initiative does not seek punishment, activism, or moral grandstanding. Its purpose is to preserve evidence, context, and accountability — so that harm is not forgotten, minimized, or repeated.
1. Documentation over accusation
We document verifiable harm. We do not campaign, prosecute, or advocate.
2. Independence over influence
Evil Prize operates free from governments, corporations, and political agendas.
3. Memory as prevention
Historical visibility is a tool to reduce future harm.
METHODOLOGY
Institutional Process for Documentation
​
Evil Prize follows a structured, evidence-based process to ensure rigor, independence, and transparency in documenting large-scale harm:
​
1. Nomination & Evidence Gathering
Verifiable cases of large-scale, preventable harm are identified and submitted with supporting documentation.
​
2. Independent Review & Verification
A multidisciplinary panel reviews submissions against defined criteria, ensuring methodological integrity before validation.
​
3. Publication & Archival Recording
Validated cases are published in the Annual Archive, creating a permanent and citable record for accountability and research
CATEGORIES
A Mirror of Human Impact
​
Evil Prize is structured around the same fundamental domains through which humanity traditionally recognizes its highest achievements.
​
Where global institutions acknowledge contributions that advance peace, health, knowledge, and economic understanding, Evil Prize applies an equivalent categorical framework to document large-scale, preventable harm occurring within those same domains.
​
This is not coincidence.
Progress and damage emerge along the same axes of human action.
​
Each Evil Prize category represents the inverse expression of a domain traditionally associated with human advancement — recording where those same forces have produced systemic, avoidable harm instead.
War
Inverse of the recognition traditionally associated with peace.
​
This category documents large-scale harm resulting from war, armed conflict, repression, or deliberate destabilization of societies.
​
It includes actions, decisions, or policies that have led to sustained violence, mass casualties, forced displacement, or the erosion of civil peace.
Weaponization of Science
Inverse of the recognition traditionally associated with discoveries in physical sciences.
​
This category documents large-scale harm resulting from the application, weaponization, or misuse of scientific knowledge.
​
It includes cases where scientific were applied to produced widespread damage.
Inverse of the recognition traditionally associated with literature and human expression.
​
This category documents large-scale harm resulting from the manipulation of language, narrative, or information.
It includes propaganda, systematic misinformation, censorship, and the use of written or spoken narratives to dehumanize populations, incite violence, or normalize oppression.
Misinformation
Inverse of the recognition traditionally associated with advances in medicine and human health.
​
This category documents preventable harm caused by medical negligence, unethical pharmaceutical practices, public health failures, or the misuse of healthcare systems.
​
It includes cases where suffering or loss of life occurred despite available medical knowledge, scientific consensus, or feasible preventive alternative
Medical Harm
Inverse of the recognition traditionally associated with chemical sciences and innovation.
​
This category documents harm caused by toxic substances, chemical processes, or industrial practices that resulted in widespread or long-term damage.
​
It includes toxic exposure, environmental contamination, and systemic harm arising from the negligent or unethical use of chemical knowledge.
Toxic Harm
Inverse of the recognition traditionally associated with economic sciences.
​
This category documents systemic economic damage affecting populations through financial misconduct, institutional failures, or exploitative economic structures.
It includes large-scale economic destabilization, loss of livelihoods, and social harm caused by preventable economic or policy decisions.
