Elevate Awards Show

For the third time, the Elevate Festival recognizes the people, initiatives and projects that contribute positively, sustainably and innovatively to society. Submission of entrants was open to the public from April to June 2014. Numerous projects were submitted and then evaluated.

The Styrian Elevate Award, the International Elevate Award and the Elevate Artivism Award are up for grabs. For each of these three categories, five finalists have been selected. The audience will vote on the winners of the Styrian Elevate Award and the Elevate Artivism Award in October 2014, while the winner of the International Elevate Award is chosen by an international jury of 100 former festival participants.

In the course of the awards show, the winners will be announced and welcomed on stage. This is followed by a prize-giving ceremony. There will be music and art, as well as a charming moderator. This free-admission awards show is not only exciting and entertaining, but also encouraging and inspiring for all ages.

The prize money of the Elevate Awards has been funded by the Elevate Sweet Crowdfunding Chocolate 120% Motivationskick. This is a sweet collaboration between the Elevate Festival and Chocolatier Josef Zotter, who donates the full sales revenue to the Elevate Awards prize fund.

We are looking forward to seeing all the Elevate Artivism Award finalists perform at the show and we will walk towards this Sunday night on the red carpet with our host, Hermes. It will be a good night.
