The Sixth of April Sarajevo Award (Bosnian: Šestoaprilska nagrada grada Sarajeva; Croatian: Šestotravanjska nagrada grada Sarajeva; Serbian Cyrillic: Шестоаприлска награда града Сарајева) is the highest decoration given by the city of Sarajevo.

[1] Recipients are awarded for their continuous work and achievements in the fields of science, business, education, technology, health care, art, sports, and human rights.

[2] Military operations in World War II in Yugoslavia began on 6 April 1941, when the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was swiftly conquered by Axis forces and partitioned between Germany, Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria and client regimes.

The city's resistance was led by Yugoslav Partisan commander, Vladimir Perić, known by his nom de guerre Walter.

With an Allied victory on the horizon, Adolf Hitler personally issued a directive on 15 February 1945 ordering the holding of Sarajevo.
