COMING SOON

The Organising Committee of the 15th European Breast Cancer Conference invites nominations for the EBCC Arts and Humanities Award, a prize that recognises an outstanding contribution to the arts/humanities and which has a direct relationship to the fight against breast cancer.

The EBCC Arts and Humanities Award will be awarded to the individual who has “made a difference” through an artistic or humanistic activity such as: artwork, dance, film, literature, music, photography or poetry and whose contribution and personal achievements reflect the efforts and vision that unites EBCC.

It is important that such efforts do not go unrecognized, thus we invite you to look within your respective countries and nominate an individual whom you believe deserves this significant recognition on the occasion of the 15th European Breast Cancer Conference in Barcelona.

The EBCC Arts and Humanities Award is worth 1,500 EUR and includes an all expenses paid trip to attend EBCC-15.

Deadline for receipt of applications is 1 November 2025
