Entry Period Extended for the 2024 Simon Wiesenthal Prize

Entries can still be submitted for the 2024 edition of the Simon Wiesenthal Prize until 31 July 2024. The Prize is endowed with 30,000 euros and rewards civic engagement to combat antisemitism and educate people about the Holocaust.

You can submit an entry in your own right or on behalf of a group, or nominate another person or group for the Prize.

The jury will evaluate the entries received and submit a shortlist to the Board of Trustees of the National Fund. The nominees will be announced in autumn 2024. The winners will be announced in a ceremony held at the Austrian Parliament in March 2025.

Another important aspect of the Simon Wiesenthal Prize is to pay tribute to surviving eyewitnesses. They are honoured in the form of a special commendation, as a sign of recognition and appreciation for their courageous work. Although they have endured untold suffering, they still find the strength to share their stories, making a vital contribution to learning from history while also fostering humanity and democracy.

We would like to thank everyone who has already entered and look forward to receiving more entries for further initiatives and projects.
