Cultural Award »pro visio« of the Kulturregion Hannover Foundation

The Kulturregion Hannover Foundation honors outstanding initiatives from the fields of theater, dance, performance, visual arts, music, film, and interdisciplinary formats in the Hannover region with the cultural award »pro visio«. With a prize money of €7,777, the award recognizes exceptional project ideas that utilize new forms of mediation, activate unusual venues, or connect different disciplines. The funding and innovation award aims not only to acknowledge artistically high-quality concepts but also to generate sustainable impulses for the independent cultural scene through multiplier effects and to support broader public awareness.

Projects eligible for the award are those realized in the current calendar year within the Hannover region. Nominations can be submitted at any time by private individuals, associations, non-profit organizations, or interest groups via mail or email, as no official application round is planned. A qualified jury composed of representatives from institutions and experts evaluates the submissions based on the originality of the approaches, artistic quality, and creative engagement with regional conditions. The goal is to stimulate innovative cultural work and to provide symbolic as well as practical start-up assistance for upcoming projects with the prize money. Since the submission deadline is ongoing, this presents an ideal opportunity to make forward-looking cultural projects known to a broad public and to promote them sustainably.
