The Karl Sczuka Prize has since become the most important international award for advanced works of radio art. In 1955 it was donated by the former Südwestfunk and initially awarded for radio play music every two years.

  
Südwestrundfunk, a public service organization, awards a prize for works of radio art. The award goes to the best production of an audio work that uses musical material and structures in an acoustic performance.

  
If possible, the works awarded the Karl Sczuka Prize should be performed as part of the Donaueschingen Festival ("Donaueschinger Musiktage").

  
In addition to the Karl Sczuka Prize, Südwestrundfunk awards a support grant.

  
In connection with the Karl Sczuka Prize presentation, the "Karl Sczuka Research Grant in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut" (hereinafter referred to as "Research Grant") is awarded as an additional prize jointly by SWR and the Goethe-Institut.

The Karl Sczuka Prize is endowed with 12,500 euros (twelve thousand five hundred euros). It can be shared.

  
The support grant is endowed with 2,500 euros (two thousand five hundred euros).

  
The aim of the Research Grant, which is endowed with 5,000 euros (five thousand euros), is to support the research phase for international radio art projects, which is often only possible under rudimentary conditions, and thus to strengthen the willingness to engage with other cultural spheres.

  
The support grant is presented annually to one of the Karl Sczuka Prize applicants. Associated with the support grant is the possibility of carrying out a two-week production in a Südwestrundfunk radio play studio.
