Since 2013, a small sculpture designed by the artist Christine Braun has been presented as an award. It consists of translucent concrete and red broad sheet glass. The design of the award picks up on the special nature of understanding between religions: "[...] permeability, connection, overcoming the divisive - in order to achieve reconciliation, peaceful, tolerant coexistence."[6]
