German Jazz Prize
The German Jazz Prize pursues the overarching goal of creating, living and communicating more cultural diversity in musical practice and teaching, in cultural management as well as in sound carrier production and documentation.
It is intended to serve as an orientation for interested parties from all social groups at home and abroad and is based on the self-image that jazz and improvised music belong to the cultural educational canon. The German Jazz Prize reflects the social significance of this music and its award criteria are based first and foremost on artistic aspects.
