We are pleased to announce that for the first time, international
nominations are now open for the Éva
Fahidi Award!
The award was established in 2024 by Andor Andrási, Éva
Fahidi’s partner, together with the
conductor Ádám Fischer. It aims to recognize and bring
visibility to individuals who work
with young people to actively stand up against prejudice,
hate speech, exclusion, and
discrimination.
Who can be nominated?
Private individuals whose personal example, professional or
volunteer work with young
people has significantly contributed to strengthening a
culture of understanding, dialogue,
and inclusion in our society.
Why is the nomination important?
Many people work quietly and with great dedication to reduce
hatred and foster compassion
amongst the next generation. The Éva Fahidi Award offers an
opportunity for these
individuals’ activities to reach a wider audience, providing
inspiration and encouragement to
others.
How can you nominate someone?
The nomination process is simple and only takes a few
minutes via an online form accessible
