Hörspielpreis der Kriegsblinden

Der Hörspielpreis der Kriegsblinden is awarded every year "for an original audio play, conceived and produced by a German language broadcaster, that realizes and expands the possibilities of the art form in an outstanding manner.

This original audio play must have its initial broadcast in the previous year.

The prize is given out in the Bundesrat in Berlin and at Hotel Petersberg in alternating years.

The prize consists of a small sculpture, newly designed each year by a war-blinded artist.

Traditionally, the winning play is later broadcast on all participating radio stations.
