The Prince Claus Fund has presented the Prince Clause Awards annually since 1997 to honor individuals and organisations reflecting a contemporary approach to the themes of culture and development. Recipients are mainly located in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean.

Prince Claus Awards

Nominations

Honorees are determined by a jury of honorary chairmen who are experts from fields relevant to its mission of culture and development.

Criteria

The most important consideration of the jury is the positive effect of a laureate’s work on a wider cultural or social field. The Prince Claus Fund interprets culture in a broad sense to encompass all kinds of artistic and intellectual disciplines, science, media and education. Outstanding quality is an essential condition for an award.

Award Presentation

The Principal Award of € 100,000 is presented during a ceremony at the Royal Palace in Amsterdam in December every year. The additional awards of € 25,000 each are presented in the Dutch embassies in the countries where the recipients live in December and January.

The Prince Claus Awards Books

Every year, the Fund publishes a book including the awards speech by one of the Honorary Chairmen, an extract of the lecture by a leading thinker, the jury’s report and extensive discussions of the laureates’ work by experts qualified in the laureates' fields.
