The Heinz Awards

26th

Established to honor the memory of John Heinz and to celebrate the vision and the spirit that produce achievements of lasting good, the Heinz Awards recognize individuals making contributions to the Arts, the Environment and the Economy. During the program’s first 25 years, awards were given in five categories including Arts and Humanities; Human Condition; Public Policy; and Technology, the Economy and Employment. Moving forward, there will be six recipients, with two recipients in each of the three categories. Awardees will receive a monetary award of $250,000 and the Heinz Awards medallion.
 
The program is administered by the Heinz Family Foundation of Pittsburgh. Nominations are submitted by invited Nominators, who serve anonymously, and are reviewed by Jurors appointed by the Heinz Family Foundation. The Jurors make recommendations to the Board of Directors, which subsequently selects the Awards recipients.
