Paszport Polityki

Paszport Polityki (Polityka's Passport) is an annual Polish cultural award presented by the weekly magazine Polityka since 1993.

It is presented in six major categories: literature, film, theatre, classical music, popular music, visual arts (and entertainment up until 2005). In 2002 a new, seventh category was added: creator of culture^[1] while in 2016 the eighth category added was digital culture.

According to the editorial declaration, the award is a distinction for creators who make the fastest progress, surprise with new achievements, their activities bode well in the future and thus deserve care, support and promotion in the world.^[2] The award's name was conceived as a symbolic passport to the world's art.^[2] It is usually given to relatively young creators, often for outstanding debuts.
