All associations and initiatives that have not won an award in the last ten years are eligible to apply. It is worth applying quickly, as only ten organizations will be nominated in each category.

The prizes, each worth 500 euros, are financed by the Stadt- und Kreissparkasse Erlangen Höchstadt Herzogenaurach. There will also be a short image film about the winners. The winners are expected to be announced on Friday, December 18, as part of the annual volunteering event at the Markgrafentheater.
