This initiative is no coincidence; The prize money totaling 6,000 euros was made available by the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior, Sport and Integration and is part of a broader strategy to support integration projects. Among other things, European funding in the form of AMIF and other social integration programs is also important for projects in the areas of asylum, return and integration. These funds help to find creative and sustainable approaches to integrate migrants into society. The bpb emphasizes that these funds are awarded by the EU via the federal states and can therefore also specifically support local projects.

Individuals, municipalities and organizations can apply for the prize in order to initiate further integration projects in the future. The next application deadline is June 16, 2025, so there is enough time for interested parties to submit their ideas and thus make a contribution to integration in Lower Franconia the government of Lower Franconia explained on their site.
