Weimar Prize
The Weimar Prize is an award that the City of Weimar has been awarding since 1990. It is awarded to individuals or "several people involved in a work who have made a contribution to the cultural reputation of the city of Weimar." It can honor both an individual achievement and a lifetime achievement that has "a recognizable reference" to the city of Weimar. The prize is endowed with 5000 euros; furthermore, a certificate will be handed over by the mayor of Weimar. The culture committee of the City Council of Weimar decides on the winner based on the suggestions received; the winner is confirmed by the city council.
