2012
For 2012, the realization of was Lenten Veil awarded, which for the Holy Cross Church in Gladbeck intended -Butendorf. The approximately 1000-year-old liturgical tradition of the Lenten cloth provides for the altar or the choir area of a church to be covered and hidden from view of the congregation. The current realization is about opening up new perspectives for the viewer by interfering with the church interior: the familiar should be experienced foreign, the familiar should be experienced differently. The essentials should come into view. This project was funded by the Holy Cross Foundation , which was represented by Achim Wessing on the ars liturgica jury . The first prize was awarded to the Aachen artist Claudia Merx, who had already been awarded the State Prize for Arts and Crafts in North Rhine-Westphalia in 2003.

The other prizes went to Dorothèe Aschoff from Neustadt and Sebastian Richter from Halle . The award winners were selected from a total of 51 entries.

This year's task calls for a new, artistically high-quality presentation cross for the parish of St. Josef in Essen - Frintrop to be designed, which will be used in the future in the Corpus Christi procession , in pilgrimages , but also in the regular church services of the parish. This cross should not only be carried by the altar servers when the priest moves into and out of the church , but should also be a special eye-catcher near the altar during the celebration and help to discover new perspectives on the cross and resurrection . Therefore, the competition participants should also consider a stand device in their design.
