Cultural honorary award of the state capital Munich
The City of Munich's Cultural Prize of Honor is a cultural prize awarded annually by the City of Munich since 1958 . The award is endowed with 10,000 euros.
Award criteria
The prize is intended to honor personalities "of international charisma" whose "artistic, cultural or scientific achievements" particularly distinguish them and who "have a close connection to Munich as a place of origin or work" (according to self-portrayal). The award is based on the proposal of a jury made up of the previous year's winners, the mayor, the head of the cultural department , five members of the city council and five independent members.
