Since 1998, the Fördergesellschaft has been supporting students of the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design (HfG) with an annual award ceremony for outstanding semester, master's or diploma theses in the subjects of product design, media art, photography, scenography and communication design, as well as art science with attractive prizes financed by the Fördergesellschaft and numerous supporters, such as the Schroff Foundations, the Heinrich Hertz Society, the BBBank, and private donors. In addition to recognizing their achievements, they enable the students to continue their projects and initiate new ones.
In 2025, the jury of the Fördergesellschaft awards prizes with a total value of €7,500 on behalf of the Fördergesellschaft. Students are also supported by the Schroff Foundations with €5000 and the BBBank with €1500. In addition, a prize of the Heinrich Hertz Society of €2500 will be awarded as part of the students' exhibition.
