For the thirteenth edition of the AHK Eindwerkprijs (Graduation Award), the jury studied 48 submitted graduation projects. The jury selected ten projects for the shortlist. Two prizes of €2,000 will be awarded in the bachelor and master categories, along with a public prize of €500. The jury will announce the winners on Thursday, January 23, 2025, during the festive award ceremony at the Dance Theater of the Academy of Theatre and Dance.

• Carmen Lamptey – Theatre Maker, Study Leader at HKU

Criteria 
How do you compare a museology thesis with a landscape design or an opera? The jury faces this challenging task every year. In addition to an excellent evaluation by experts within the relevant academy and external specialists, key criteria the jury uses to assess submissions include how the final work connects with the outside world, and the relevance of the work to the further development of the field.

Award Ceremony 
In January, the jury will announce the winners during the festive award ceremony. Everyone is welcome! 
Date: Thursday January 23 2025, from 16:30-18:00
