John Blankenstein Award
The John Blankenstein Award is the annual gay-emancipation award in The Hague, Netherlands. It highlights the significance of gay men and lesbian women participating and positioning themselves equally in society. The award comprises an art-object designed by local artist Liesbeth Busman (1977) – and a financial grant.
==History==
On 12 June 2008, the Municipal Council of The Hague granted a motion〔( Voorstel van het college inzake de Homo-emancipatienota 2008-2010: 'Gewoon Anders' (Motie 4)(RV 114.2008/4) - RIS 155841 - official website City of The Hague )〕 to annually present a ‘gay emancipation award’. The motion was an initiative of a representative of the Socialist Party, Tymen Colijn. It would signify the intention of The Hague to profile itself as a gay-friendly city and therefore, this annual gay emancipation award was created.
Among others, the Municipal Council believed issuing an emancipation-award could positively raise consciousness and understanding of homosexuality, as well as its own open position on gay emancipation and equality. Furthermore, it also hoped that this award would generate positive interest and attention to gay-related activities.
Therefore, on 13 January 2009, the council of the Mayor and Municipal Executives of the city of The Hague passed a bill〔( Haagse Homo-emancipatieprijs - RIS 160592 - official website City of The Hague )〕 creating this unique award and named it after a famous Dutch citizen and sports figure - John Blankenstein.
