Lower Austrian provincial exhibition medal
The Lower Austrian Provincial Exhibition Medal is an honorable recognition for services in connection with the organization of provincial exhibitions . As a recognition medal of the state of Lower Austria , it is usually presented personally by the governor . Unlike the medal of honor for services to the state of Lower Austria , which is regulated by state law , the state exhibition medal is a special, personal award by the governor.
History and description
The state exhibition medal was launched in 2005 by Governor Erwin Pröll on the occasion of the exhibition on the history of the " Heldenberg ", two kilometers from Pröll's hometown . The honor is linked to a certificate from the governor in which he expresses his thanks and appreciation for his commitment and commitment to the federal state of Lower Austria.
The silver-colored medal has a diameter of 55 mm. The front of the medal bears the inscription " Lower Austria • State Exhibition • [Year] • [Venue] " as well as a bas-relief related to the subject of the exhibition or the venue . The reverse shows the name and the facsimile signature of the provincial governor. Owners of the medal can also wear a pin with a blue and gold ribbon section.
The medal is awarded to people who have rendered outstanding services through their active work in the preparation and implementation of the state exhibitions and the associated charitable goals, e.g. B. Curators . The culture department of the Lower Austrian provincial government suggests the persons concerned to the governor's office, who hands over the medals in a festive setting, usually after the exhibition is over. This process and its foundation by the governor make the medal a public honor in the real sense.
