Recognition awards

Since 2020, the Landis & Gyr Foundation has conferred an annual award in recognition of an outstanding contribution to the field of art and culture. Consideration is given to cultural institutions, festivals or companies in Switzerland that have done outstanding work over a long period of time with comparatively modest resources, implementing innovative ideas that appeal to a diverse audience.

The recognition award of CHF 50,000 is not only a tribute to past achievements; it is also intended to be of substantial use to the beneficiary. Recipients are nominated and selected by the Foundation.
