Proposals for cultural award winners still possible until 31 May

It is still possible to submit proposals for the District Culture Prize and the Youth Culture Prize until 31 May 2023. Individuals, groups of people, clubs and associations are called upon to nominate suitable candidates by this deadline. Self-applications are also possible.

The background to this is that the district of Waldeck-Frankenberg has changed its guidelines for awarding prizes to honour special commitment in the areas of monument protection, culture, nature and social issues. The special nature of the award is emphasised more strongly, the prize money is doubled from the previous 2,500 euros to 5,000 euros for the main prizes and from 500 euros to 1,000 euros for the youth prizes. The adjustment of the award rhythm also aims at a higher status: In each category, instead of every second year, committed people can now only become award winners every four years.

This year we will start with the Culture Prize and the Youth Culture Prize - nominations can be made by persons or groups of persons who are exceptionally committed to cultural activities in the district or with a direct connection to the district. The nomination should be accompanied by documents expressing the special, exemplary commitment to be honoured, e.g. photos, offprints or press reports.

Proposals for potential award winners are accepted at Landkreis Waldeck-Frankenberg, Fachdienst 2.3, Attn Ms Frömel, Südring 2, 34497 Korbach or by e-mail at petra.froemel@lkwafkb.de.
