Prize for Pop Culture: Everything you need to know about the award in Berlin at a glance

The Pop Culture Prize will be awarded for the seventh time on November 23rd. All information about the event here.

The prize for pop culture was actually supposed to take place on October 5th in Berlin’s Theater des Westens, but nothing came of it. Because the “necessary amount of donations and sponsorship” could not be generated in time, the event was postponed. Now the awards ceremony will take place on Thursday November 23rd at the Colloseum in the capital. All important information about the music prize can be found here.

Price for what?

The Pop Culture Prize is an annual event that honors achievements and cultural contributions in the field of pop culture in Germany. The award’s mission is to promote and celebrate diversity and creativity in the German pop culture scene.

It was once created as an alternative to the increasingly grotesque Echo music industry award – which no longer exists. The price for pop culture does.

It says, among other things: “After a short and heavy breath on the board, we quickly agreed that the nominees, with their great creative achievements for the further development of pop culture in Germany, deserved to receive their awards in the most beautiful spotlight we have in the world Names of the many hundreds of members of the Pop Culture Association.”
