Erase Indifference Challenge 2026 (€90,000 prize)

Applications are invited for the Erase Indifference Challenge 2026. The Erase Indifference Challenge is a global initiative to recognize and reward initiatives that have been implemented in practice and have demonstrated tangible results and impact in addressing indifference to discrimination. This may include different forms of discrimination, such as racism, antisemitism, religious discrimination, misogyny, or discrimination against migrants, refugees and LGBTQ+ people.

The Challenge aims to highlight effective, innovative and measurable initiatives that demonstrate real impact, inspire others, and contribute to reducing indifference, fostering empathy and promoting greater appreciation of diversity. As its name suggests, the focus is on addressing indifference to discrimination, which may not always be immediately obvious. While many initiatives address discrimination directly, the Challenge emphasizes initiatives that tackle indifference itself—showing practical ways to engage communities, change behaviors and inspire action against social passivity.
