More about the price of pop culture
Since 2016, the price of pop culture has been committed to appreciating artistic vision, attitude and innovative strength. Especially for newcomers: inside, nomination or a profit can inspire your own career. Also this year an independent jury of experts from music and media experts made the shortlist in the inside and the final decision then placed in the hands of the members of the association to promote pop culture EV, which were allowed to vote until the award ceremony.
The event takes place in cooperation with Music Düsseldorf and the C/O POP. The Award is supported by YouTube Music, Reservix and D.Live. There is more information here and on the association’s social media channels.
The jury 2025 – a top -class body
The Association for the Promotion of Popkultur eV is committed to an innovative and various music landscape. Members have the opportunity to actively determine the winners: to be determined and get into the network of artists: inside and expert: to get inside.

Among other things, Marion Brasch participated in the jury: “It is great that there is a prize like this. For the nominees whose work is valued and promoted. And for us – the audience – who can continue to hear, see and enjoy the fruits of their work.”
The jury work was also an exciting experience for Klaus Fiehe: “Participation as a jury member in the price of pop culture 2025 was an honor for me. And I enjoyed it. Competent jury, controversy, none of the nomines have just been waved through. Pop music has long been solved by formerly Anglo -American models, it is colorful, its density is considerable.
