from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Culture Prize of the City of Rüsselsheim is a biennial prize awarded by the city council of the Opel city of Rüsselsheim am Main for outstanding achievements in the cultural field.

The culture prize has been awarded since 1986 at the suggestion of a jury “for outstanding achievements and important cultural initiatives, especially in the areas of homeland maintenance, literature, music or the visual arts”. It is endowed with 2500 euros (as of 2009) and can be given to individuals or associations that have their headquarters in Rüsselsheim or whose work relates to Rüsselsheim. The prize can be shared.

In addition, a sponsorship award in the form of a grant is awarded to young artists for special achievements in the fields of music, dance, literature, theater, the fine arts and architecture. The scholarship , which is endowed with a monthly grant of 310 euros, is limited to one year; an extension for a maximum of another year is possible.
