Committed to laughter and joy of life

We are thrilled about the nomination and see a great opportunity to use the award to show the importance of commitment to laughter and joy in life. Many laughter yogis from Germany and Austria have jointly launched this project to create uncomplicated, easy access to laughter. Every day we hear on the phone how important the number has become for our callers. Our “regular laughers” get their little moment of happiness every day on the phone, their voice training, their cardiovascular activation or the joyful, happy contact with us, who are usually just as happy to laugh with the callers.

Chance to win up to 10,000 euros in prize money

The audience prize is endowed with 10,000 euros. The top 50 winners of the vote also win participation in a joint training seminar in Berlin. If they win, the Laughter Phone would use the prize money for its charitable purposes.

We would be very happy if you voted for us and helped us collect votes! If you need material or have ideas, please feel free to write to us, just send an email to info@lachtelefon.de

Nationally renowned award

The nomination provides further high-level recognition for the commitment to spreading laughter and joy of life. Only winners of other awards that honor voluntary commitment in Germany can be nominated for the German Commitment Award. This year, 390 nominees have the chance to be awarded the German Engagement Award and receive the Audience Award or one of the 5 jury prizes. The winners of all prizes will be announced at an awards ceremony on December 5th in Berlin, which will be broadcast via live stream.
