The winners of The Power of the Arts 2021 have been announced! The jury selected four outstanding projects that implement unconventional artistic ideas for an open society.

Our Jury had their meetings! Tomorrow we are going to announce who belongs to this year’s winners.

The Working Group for Cultural Sponsoring of the Association of Arts and Culture of the German Economy at the Federation of German Industries e.V. (Kulturkreis der deutschen Wirtschaft im BDI e.V.) honors the Philip Morris GmbH with the AKF Award for The Power of the Arts.

The Power of the Arts is one of the nominated projects for this year’s AKF-Award.

Start with us in our fifth year anniversary! Apply from now on until June 15.

The new application round will start on April 15, 2021. With a total of 200,000 euros we will support again four outstanding initiatives and institutions that use art to promote an open society. Those who are interested in applying can register now for the application process.

In past years, winning projects have always been honored at a festive awarding ceremony featuring figures from culture, politics, and civil society. Regrettably, we must refrain from holding a ceremonial presentation this year out of consideration for the protection against infections. Nevertheless, we are pleased to present this short summary of all winning projects.

The 10th winner of The Power of the Arts 2020 award, “Kein Schlussstrich! Ein bundesweites Theaterprojekt zum NSU-Komplex (No closure! A nationwide theatre project on the National Socialist Underground)” by Licht ins Dunkel e.V. who has not yet been published for project-internal reasons can finally be announced. 

Our Jury had their meetings! They sat together and discussed a lot: In the next weeks we are going to announce who belongs to this year’s winners.

2020 is a special year that will be defined by crisis. That is why we are adjusting how the award’s funding is being distributed.

The The Power of the Arts jury team 2020 is ready to start. Here we present the jury for the call for entries.

For the third time since the founding of The Power the Arts, the jury has once again selected impressive projects to receive the award.

What a party! To honor this year’s The Power of the Arts winners, an award ceremony was held on 30 January 2020 at the F.A.Z. Atrium in Berlin.
