Two categories for more equality
The IDEA prize is endowed with a maximum of 25,000 euros. Wanted are ideas that focus on the specific life situations of women and develop solutions for them. The prize is awarded in two categories:
The Sponsorship Prize is awarded to technical innovations or innovative concepts that have already been developed and that digitally transfer equality-oriented analogue solutions in or for Hamburg or think ahead digitally in terms of equality.
The Honour Prize is awarded to women who have made outstanding achievements with their commitment to equality in the digital world or who promote and shape the digital economy in a special way. Women can nominate themselves for the IDEA Honour Prize or be nominated by another person.
Applications and nominations can be submitted until 6 September 2024. You can download the application forms for the Sponsorship Prize here and for the Honour Prize here. All important questions about the IDEA are answered here. The award ceremony will take place on 28 November 2024 as part of a Senate reception at City Hall.
