  • Applications can be submitted beginning on 15 June 2022. The cut-off date is 31 August 2022, 11:59 p.m. CET.

  • Applications can be submitted through the application form.

  • Once the application has been submitted, it is generally no longer possible to edit the application form. However, if you still want to make a change, please contact us via Help Request.

  • You can get help with all questions concerning the application during four application coachings. You can find all deadlines and additional information here.

  • As a general principle, anyone can nominate people or projects. Other regulations apply in exceptional cases. These can be read in the Conditions of Participation.

  • To nominate a person or project, you must fill out the Application form for nominations between 15 June 2022 and 15 August 2022.

  • If a nominated person or project rejects the nomination, the project or person will automatically cease being part of the application process.

  • After the cut-off date on 31 August 2022, the group of experts uses an evaluation matrix from all applications and nominations to create a longlist consisting of 40 entries. The longlist is published on 15 September 2022 on the DMP website. Afterward, the audience is called on to vote online. At the same time, two jury members evaluate the projects. The audience and jury evaluations are included in the shortlist in a 30:70 ratio.

    The jury discusses the shortlist and votes on it using a secret ballot during the jury meeting on 26 October 2022. Every project on the shortlist receives transparent feedback from the jury.

    On 27 October 2022, the prizewinners of DMP 2022 will be announced as part of a festive award ceremony.

  • The jury consists of eight experts from the areas of digitisation and mobility in politics, business, science, and civil society. One additional jury member is an expert from a different field.  One citizen and one DMP alumnus are also represented in the jury. You can apply for that seat here.

  • The German Mobility Award aims to bridge technological and social innovation and people’s day-to-day experiences. This allows the ideas of citizens to be used to develop mobility. The most important goal of the DMP is therefore to network the participants with each other and encourage the exchange of knowledge and experiences.

  • The German Mobility Award carries no prize money. Therefore, all the projects on the long- and shortlists receive a great deal of public attention and the opportunity to advertise themselves with one of the most important distinctions in the area of digital mobility. There are also numerous occasions and opportunities for networking and transparent jury feedback for all projects on the shortlist.

  • In 2022, the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV) commissioned the iRights.Lab and the Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. to plan, implement, and support the German Mobility Award.
