LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The five winners of the Grawemeyer Awards are being announced in Louisville next week.
The University of Louisville and Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary will announce the recipients. They begin Monday with the music composition award, followed daily until Friday in the areas of ideas improving world order, psychology, education and religion.
The awards are $100,000 each.
Charles Grawemeyer created the prizes in 1984 to recognize outstanding ideas with the potential to make the world a better place. Grawemeyer, who died in 1993, was a U of L graduate and a philanthropist.
Winners of the 2015 Grawemeyers are scheduled to speak in April in Louisville.
