On Monday, President Kersti Kaljulaid shared on social media that submissions are still open and anyone can submit their favorite cultural figure or group.
Required documents for application are as follows:
- A written application with personal data and a short CV (name, address, education, professional career);
- A description of creative work;
- Recommendations by at least two recognised cultural figures or an artistic association and one recognised cultural figure.
Submissions must be sent digitally signed to the Cultural Foundation of the President at vpinfo@vpk.ee.
The winners of the award are chosen by the Council of the Cultural Foundation who will consult experts, if necessary.
Last year's winner of the cultural figure award was jazz-musician Kadri Voorand.
