Dimitris Horn Award is a Greek annual, honorary award and is given for the best performance by a young male actor in the past theatre season. The award, which bears the name of Dimitris Horn, an actor recognised as the best contemporary Greek theatre actor, was established in 2000 by Stamatis Fasoulis and Theodosis Isaakidis, with the financial support of Yannis Horn, the actor's brother.[1]
The prize of the award is the gold cross worn by the actor, which is passed from one awardee to another every year, accompanied by a cash prize of 3000 euro.[2]
Candidates must be graduates of a drama school or have performed professionally for the first time no more than five years before the theatre period for which they are honoured.
...these awards are not a simple process. We follow the actors' progress over time and their attitude towards things, towards the theatre, an art form that is primarily handmade. There are many good actors out there, but in order not to be unfair to anyone, the awards are not given for the hit of the moment, but because there has been struggle and dedication. Then the award makes sense.
The award ceremony takes place every year at the "Dimitris Horn Theatre" (formerly "Dionysia Theatre"). The "Committee of the Dimitris Horn Award" is currently composed of: Stamatis Fassoulis (chairman), Lydia Koniordou, theatrologist Irini Moudraki and the journalists Myrto Loverdou and Antigoni Karali as members.[3] Members of the committee have been the theatrologist Kostas Georgousopoulos (chairman), Eleni Chatziargyri and Xenia Kalogeropoulou.
The future of the award is unknown as the initial fund from which the prize money was given is running out. The organiser of the awards, Stamatis Fassoulis, have sought the support of the Ministry of Culture to take over the funding of the award (3,000 euros per year) but nothing has been decided yet.[4]
