Cultural Award of the City of Wiesbaden
Once a year, the state capital of Wiesbaden awards the Culture Prize. Proposals for the 2026 Culture Prize can be submitted until Thursday, April 30.
The Culture Prize of the State Capital of Wiesbaden honors artists, cultural institutions, cultural initiatives, or projects that have had a special impact on cultural life in Wiesbaden. The prize is endowed with €10,000 and is presented annually toward the end of the year in the grand ballroom of City Hall.
Call for entries for the 2026 Culture Prize
All Wiesbaden residents aged 16 and over are invited to participate. Justified nominations for the 2026 Culture Prize can be submitted to the Cultural Office at kulturfoerderungwiesbadende or by post (Schillerplatz 1-2, 65185 Wiesbaden) until Thursday, April 30. Self-nominations are not possible.
Nominations from previous years will not be automatically reconsidered and must be resubmitted. This is not a voting process – every single nomination will be included in the list of nominations. Multiple nominations are not relevant to the decision.
The winner will be selected by a jury consisting of the head of the cultural department, one member from each of the political groups in the city council, and the director of the cultural office.
