Swiss Performing Arts Awards

The Swiss Performing Arts Awards, formerly the Swiss Theatre Awards (French: Journées du théâtre suisse; German: Schweizer Theaterpreis; Irish: Giornate del Teatro Svizzero) and Swiss Dance Awards, are a set of annual prizes awarded by the Federal Office of Culture (FOC), to personalities or groups of persons active in the Swiss theatre world.

[1] The Swiss Performing Arts Awards are awarded by the FOC, to personalities or groups of persons active in the Swiss performing arts world[1] (formerly separately theatre[2][3] and dance).

The laureates are chosen by the federal theatre jury, and none of the prizes are part of a competition.

[1] There are nine other awards in dance, theatre, and the performing arts "to individuals or institutions that have rendered outstanding services to the diverse cultural output of the performing arts in Switzerland".

In addition, there is a June Johnson Newcomer Prize awarded in collaboration with the Stanley Thomas Johnson Foundation to one dance and one theatre production of the previous year.
