The KAIROS Prize has been awarded to European artists and scholars from the fields of visual and performing arts, music, architecture, design, film, photography, literature and journalism since 2007 by the Alfred Toepfer Foundation in Hamburg. It is endowed with a sum of 75,000 Euro. The prize recognises and supports European artists, scientists and cultural mediators who have not yet reached the peak of their creativity, for their pioneering, avant-garde and groundbreaking work. It is named after the Greek god Kairos, the god of the right moment.
