Af Hildur Jackson Gaia Prisen uddeles hvert år til en eller flere personer eller et projekt som har haft betydning for udviklingen af bæredygtige fællesskaber:økosamfund. Iøkosamfundene stræber man mod at realisere en livsstil, der er bæredygtig både spirituelt, økologisk, socialt og økonomisk. Gaia Trust uddeler en dansk og en europæisk pris for på denne måde at gøre noget positivt for vores smukke og fantastiske Moder Jord. Prisen er på 25.000 kr Den danske pris for 2006 går til: Christina Henasch for hendes utrættelige og banebrydende arbejde med at fremavle, udvikle og formidle frø og viden om frø som en modvægt med et stadig mere monopoliseret og ensidigt frømarked. Et videre sigte med prisen er at sætte lys på en vigtig og til dels overset problemstilling: At frø og udsæd fra at være en kulturarv forvandles til patenterede organismer, der er i hænderne på få og store firmaer, der alene forædler ud fra ensidige, økonomiske synspunkter, uden hensyn til miljø, bæredygtighed og næringskvalitet.

July 2006 The Gaia Award (Gaia Prisen) has been given out every year starting 2000 in Denmark by Gaia Trust and since 2003 a corresponding prize has been awarded in Europe: The Ecovillage Excellency Award by GEN- Europe paid for by Gaia Trust. Both prizes have been 25,000 DKK. In both cases the monetary award has been accompanied by a “trophy”. In the case of Denmark, this has been the photo of a pregnant woman with the world painted on her stomach together with the name of the Overrækkelse af den danske Økosamfundspris til Christina Henasch for hendes utrættelige og banebrydende arbejde med at fremavle, udvikle og formidle frø og viden om frø som en modvægt med et stadig mere monopoliseret og ensidigt frømarked.
ecipient and the year of the award. In the case of Europe, it has been a work of ceramic art. The Danish prize was originally planned to be awarded on Earth Day (Gaia!) but has instead been presented at the general assembly of LØS. GEN-Europe chose to make the award during the Green Week in Brussels so as to get attention to their work. This year both prizes will be handed over at the GEN Europe meeting at Svanholm July 9-15. In spite of many attempts to get the attention of the media, virtually no attention has been given to the events except for LØSNET and Permaculture Magazine. Previous Danish recipients are: 2002: Jytte Abildstrøm, Munkesøgård and the Ecological Theater Workshop ; Preben Maegård, Nordic Folkecenter of Renewable Energy. Bo Læssøe, Svanholm. 2003: Flemming Abrahamsson,Ecological Builder; 2004: Leif og Vianna Hiervagen for their New Village Center, Dyssekilde, 2005: Steen Møller, Friland; Christina Henasch, Seed saving. Previous European recipients are: 2004 Galgafarm,Hungary, 2005: Zegg, Germany, 2006 Kibbutz Lothan, Israel 1. The Purpose of the Prize? The Gaia Prize is awarded one or more persons or a project having or expected to have significance for development of ecovillages. Ecovillages are attempts at realizing living a sustainable lifestyle, be it spiritual, ecological, social or economical. Gaia Trust see this as a way of doing something positive for our beautiful and fantastic Mother Earth. The prize could be awarded for some LØSNET nr. 48 August 2006 specific achievement or breakthrough over the previous 12 months, and it could also be awarded in order to help a new initiative in need of support. The prize and the accompanying publicity could help GEN and LØS in their mission to communicate the ecovillage experience in an attractive and accessible way to mainstream society. 2. Who calls for nominations? LØS and GEN call for nominations of candidates through public media. 3. Who nominates the candidates? LØS and GEN each propose a maximum of three candidates to Gaia Trust. At least one of them should involve spirituality in her or his work, as the spiritual aspect has a tendency to disappear 4. Who makes the decision as to the prize winner? Gaia Trust makes the final decision, normally at their annual meeting in April/May. The Danish nominees should live/be in Denmark. The European nominees should live/be in Europe/Africa (as Africa is part of GEN-Europe by definition). Gaia Trust can delegate the decision to GEN and LØS. Previous recipients may be asked to be part of the decision. 5. Where does the celebration take place? The annual meetings of GEN and LØS give out the prizes unless some other occasion seems more relevant (Earth Day, Social Forum, etc.) 6. What is the prize? The main prize is 25,000 DKK. We might in addition ask an artist to create a poster or some image relevant to present together with the financial award. This would include the name of the recipient and be something that could be shown to the media. 7. Who will organize the award ceremony? Jonathan Dawson, secretary of GEN Europe has been taking on the work around the international award for the last years while Gaia Trust has been in charge of the Danish prize. Bodil Søgaard (Gaia Trust) and Lars Persson (Mercur Bank) were in charge of the nomination for the Danish award 2006. It needs to be decided with GEN-Europe and LØS every year.
