Arnold Schönberg Prize

The International Arnold Schönberg Prize was established in 2001, and named after the Austrian composer Arnold Schönberg, thanks to the initiative of Kent Nagano, the former principal conductor and musical director of the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, together with Deutschlandradio.[1] The prize is awarded by the Arnold Schönberg Center (Vienna, Austria) to international composers.[2] The prize money is €12,500.[1]

gollark: But at most points I don't think most people went around getting to decide on exactly what their values were and building societies to best embody them.
gollark: It's probably some complex bidirectional thing.
gollark: If your ethical system is "the greatest good is maximizing the number of paperclips in existence", it's entirely sensible to try and overthrow existing society to make paperclips.
