The prize is awarded in the category of the best original play, radio drama, dramatic adaptation and translation of a play. We are trying to motivate and support young translators and authors in their new and original work. Thanks to the prize this work can be shown also outside the academic ground. Evald Schorm Awards have become a prestigious award thanks to which the doors to theatre and radio institutions open more easily for the awardees.
