Since 2003, the Heinz-Schwarzkopf-Foundation awards the “Schwarzkopf Europe Prize”.
With this award institutions or persons in public life are to be honoured who do in a special way contribute to fostering European co-operation and integration and who shape Europe’s peaceful and responsible role in the world. We are looking for someone who is already today committed to building a Europe that young people find attractive and worthwhile to live in the future. This could for example be achieved through significant activities and contributions in the fields of
- fostering peaceful co-existence in Europe and worldwide,
- protecting the freedom of expression and democracy in Europe and worldwide,
- demonstrating courage to stand against repressive, undemocratic regimes, corruption, ill-treatment, and torture,
- developing and/or implementing landmark European policies,
- fighting for sustainable development.
So far, the following personalities have been awarded with the prize:
Carla des Ponte (The Chief Prosecutor of the Yugoslavian Tribunal)
Navid Kermani (Author and Islamic academic)
Dieter Kosslick (Director of the Berlin International Film Festival)
Aliaksandr Lahvinets (political activist in Belarus)
The Heinz-Schwarzkopf-Foundation wants to give YOU the possibility to nominate the person YOU believe to should be awarded the “Schwarzkopf Europe Prize” of 2008.
Please submit your nominations at www.heinz-schwarzkopf-stiftung.de/prize.
You will be asked for the name and a short rationale of your nominee. We are looking forward to receiving your nominations until the 29th of June 2008.
All nominations will be assessed by a jury, consisting of the “Young Europeans of the years 1997 to 2007” of the Heinz-Schwarzkopf-Foundation. Since 1997, the Heinz-Schwarzkopf-Foundation awards the prize “Young European of the year”. With this prize, the foundation awards young people between the ages of 18 and 28 who have worked in an honorary capacity towards the understanding between peoples and/or European integration and in the process have achieved exemplary success: Young people who have learned to act with initiative, personal commitment and a sense of responsibility, thus showing they are prepared to grasp the opportunities of our time in forging peaceful coexistence in a Europe of diversity.
You will be informed about the decision of the Jury in the month of July!
Yours sincerely
André Schmitz-Schwarzkopf
