Alzheimer Europe and the Alzheimer Europe Foundation are delighted to announce the finalists for the 2025 edition of their Anti-Stigma Award. Following the great success of the initiative over the past three years, the 2025 edition was launched, with the aim of awarding a European artist active in the field of painting or photography for their work which contributed to combating stigma and promoting a positive image of dementia and people living with dementia. This year’s Anti-Stigma Award will consist of a cash prize of EUR 5,000 for first place, a cash prize of EUR 2,500 for second place and a cash prize of EUR 1,250 for third place, each of which will be accompanied by a trophy. Congratulations to all nine finalists selected, out of a total of 45 applicants. The finalists have all been invited to attend our special award dinner and ceremony taking place on 2 December, in Brussels (Belgium), at which we will announce the winner.
