By awarding people, companies or organizations that actively work for the concerns of LSBTIQ* people, the visibility and recognition of the queer community are strengthened. This helps to create an open and tolerant environment for all citizens.

Historically, queer people have had to deal with discrimination and exclusion for a long time. The Queer Prize Lichtenberg is therefore an important symbol for progress and recognition of diversity and tolerance in society.
