Dear members of the association Za krásnou Olomouc, its supporters, and other engaged individuals,
We turn to you with a call to participate in the second year of the Rudolf Eitelberger Award, which the association Za krásnou Olomouc (hereinafter referred to as the association) is preparing to award for the second time this year. The goal of this symbolic recognition is to draw attention to those interventions in the organism of (not only) historical Olomouc that positively and successfully influenced its changing appearance during the years 2009–2010. We fulfill one of the goals of the association, which is to promote and inform the public about construction and urban changes in Olomouc and the surrounding area with effects on the architectural, heritage, and urban values of the affected locations. The award is named after the significant figure, the Olomouc native Rudolf Eitelberger von Edelberg (April 17, 1817 – April 18, 1885), one of the initiation figures in modern art history and, among other things, the founder of the Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna (today Österreichisches Museum für angewandte Kunst).
We would be pleased if as many interested parties as possible, whether residents of Olomouc or those who care about its fate, would participate in the discussion and submit proposals. We believe that this activity of the association, although symbolic in nature, will nonetheless contribute to deepening the discussion and contemplation about the heritage and architectural values of our city. Proposals and other suggestions can be sent by April 1, 2011 to the address below; additional contacts are also available to you. The suggestions from association members and the wider public will be evaluated during April by a seven-member committee composed of association members and external experts. The nominated projects will be announced at the end of April 2011.
