Karl Sczuka Prize
The Karl Sczuka Prize for radio play as radio art is a radio play prize that is awarded every two years from 1955 to 1963 and annually since 1967 initially by Südwestfunk and, since its merger with Süddeutscher Rundfunk, by Südwestrundfunk (SWR). It is internationally recognized as the most prestigious award for genuine radio art.
history
The prize was initially awarded for radio play music and, following amendments to the statutes between 1969 and 1972, has become the most important award for advanced works in radio art. The award goes to “the best production of a hearing work that uses musical materials and structures in acoustic forms”.
The Karl Sczuka Prize has been awarded at the Donaueschinger Musiktage since 1972 . It is endowed with € 12,500, the sponsorship award with € 5000. The prize is named after Karl Sczuka (1900–1954), who was in-house composer for Südwestfunk Baden-Baden from 1946 to 1954.
