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
