The patron was the then Federal President Richard von Weizsäcker .

With an invitation to the theater meeting, remarkable theater productions of the last two theater seasons are awarded. The selection is made by a board of trustees of the children's and youth theater center, which is composed of theater scholars , directors , theater directors , actors , dramaturges and theater critics. The invited groups show their performances at various Berlin venues that are involved in the field of children's and youth theater, including Theater an der Parkaue and Grips-Theater .
