Paszport Polityki (Polityka's Passport) is an annual Polish cultural award presented by the weekly magazine Polityka since 1993.
It is presented in six major categories: literature, film, theatre, classical music, popular music, visual arts (and entertainment up until 2005). In 2002 a new, seventh category was added: creator of culture [1] while in 2016 the eighth category added was digital culture.
According to the editorial declaration, the award is a distinction for creators who make the fastest progress, surprise with new achievements, their activities bode well in the future and thus deserve care, support and promotion in the world. [2] The award's name was conceived as a symbolic passport to the world's art. [2] It is usually given to relatively young creators, often for outstanding debuts.
