On 22 June 2022, Alzheimer Europe announced a new award, recognising an outstanding initiative aimed at combating stigma and promoting a positive image of dementia and people living with dementia. The Alzheimer Europe Anti-Stigma Award will be presented at the closing of the upcoming Alzheimer Europe Conference in Bucharest.
The award is open to individuals and organisations established in a member country of Alzheimer Europe and which has been developed and/or implemented in the past three years (2019-2022). It can be for projects, campaigns, films, videos, publications or books which aim to address the stigma attached to dementia.
Interested organisations and individuals should send information on their initiative via the special application form provided, by the deadline of 1 September 2022. Applicants may be short listed and may be asked to present their initiative to the members of the Award Committee at a virtual meeting on 15 September 2022.
The winner will be announced on the final day of the Alzheimer Europe Conference, 19 October 2022. The award will consist of a cash prize of EUR 5,000 and a trophy. The travel and accommodation costs for the conference will also be covered by Alzheimer Europe.
