ABOUT THE AWARD
The Beate Sirota
Gordon Award recognizes the accomplishments of an Austrian or Austria-based artist in the field of gender equality and women’s
rights, by granting a prize money of €6,000.- for the creation of a new artistic or cultural project in Japan, sponsored by
the Austrian Cultural Forum Tokyo.
Given out yearly on International
Women’s Day (March 8), it has a special focus on supporting the work of young and emerging artists who explore the role of
women and gender equality in the context of the 21st century.
The award honors the legacy of Austrian-born Beate
Sirota Gordon (1923-2012), who helped draft Articles 14 and 24 of the new Japanese constitution after World War II, which
gave women unprecedented rights in marriage, family and society, and made Ms. Sirota Gordon a feminist heroine in Japan.
Project proposals can be submitted until 21 January 2024 via www.sirotaaward.at
