Aargau Culture Prize
The Aargau Culture Prize is awarded annually by AZ Medien to cultural workers in Switzerland . The idea for this was born on the occasion of the anniversary “150 years of the daily press in Aargau”. The prize, endowed with 25,000 francs , was first awarded in 1998. A six-person jury will decide on the award of the prize. The Aargau Culture Prize is one of the most important cross-sectoral prizes in the field of culture across Switzerland.
