The Kunstpreis Rheinland-Pfalz is a prize awarded annually by the German state of Rheinland-Pfalz for outstanding achievement in the arts and alternates between the areas of visual arts, music, theatre, performing arts, film, and literature. The recipients must have a connection to the state either by birth, residence or their artistic work there and are selected by a jury. The prize was established in 1956 with the sculptor Emy Roeder as its first recipient. As of 2019, the main prize is an award of €10,000. There is also a Förderpreise (support prize) of €7,500 for outstanding young artists.[1][2]
