Prominent Patrons Michael Niavarani and Thomas Geierspichler
Michael Niavarani, well known actor and cabaret artiste, and Thomas Geierspichler, a truly exceptional athlete, will act as this year's edition's patrons and have promised - like Markus Rogan and Federal Minister Dr. Maria Berger last year – to personally support one of the winning projects, to be chosen by them.
Submission Modalities, Time Limit, Formalities
Submission is possible from 1st of December 2008 onwards. All relevant documents for participation must reach the contact address by 13th of February 2009 at 24h00 at the very latest. Please do not submit the institution that carries out the project, but the project itself.
Submitted projects must have been tested in the real world and they must have a future, i.e. the projects must have been put into practice before submission and they must also still be running.
Submissions of projects from Austria and bordering countries will be considered. For practical reasons, projects from outside Austria must not be more than 300km (as the crow flies) away from Vienna.
Precondition for participation is an entry form completed in German, English or Hungarian that will reach Unruhe Private Foundation in time. Please complete the entire form. Should you submit in Hungarian, then we have to ask you to also supply a German or English translation.
