KAIROS Prize
The KAIROS European Culture Prize has been awarded annually since 2007 by the Alfred Toepfer Foundation FVS in Hamburg. The international award is endowed with 75,000 euros. An independent board of trustees decides on the award of the prizes.
The KAIROS Prize is intended to honor European artists and scientists from the fields of visual and performing arts , music , architecture , film , photography , literature and journalism . "Both individual artistic achievements and the achievements of those who often - beyond public perception - make culture in Europe possible and give it decisive impulses are taken into account: producers, publishers, gallery owners and other initiators" (according to self-portrayal). This award, which is expressly not understood as an award for a completed life's work, is named after Zeus' youngest son Kairos , the god of the right moment.
