Next year, the Hochsauerland district will once again award the “August Macke Prize” as part of the overall “August Macke” concept. This prize is sponsored by the cultural foundation of Westfälische Provinzial Versicherung and the savings banks in the Hochsauerland district and focuses on the promotion, appreciation and visualization of young artistic positions. The prize is awarded nationwide. August Macke was born in Meschede, the district town of the Hochsauerland district. Based on his life, young artists who have not yet reached the age of 27 in 2025 can apply. Initially, 10 applicants will be selected in a jury process, who will then present themselves to the public in an exhibition. A jury will then select the winner of the 2025 sponsorship award from these nominees. The prize is endowed with its own exhibition and prize money of €5,000. The prize money is earmarked for the development of their own artistic work.
Application deadline: February 28, 2025
