Cultural award ceremonies in Poland

Overview

Various cultural awards were presented across several Polish cities in mid-September 2026.

In Bydgoszcz, the 23rd ‘Strzała Łuczniczki’ (Archer's Arrow) Bydgoszcz Literary Award of the Year 2025 recognized authors in poetry, prose, and essay categories, as well as editorial achievements. Simultaneously, Katowice presented the Mayor's Awards for Culture to six individuals for artistic and educational contributions, including hip-hop artists Fokus and Rahim.

In Bielsko-Biała, the Minister of Culture and National Heritage, Marta Cienkowska, hosted an annual awards gala honoring recipients in 14 categories. Notable honorees included actor Janusz Gajos for lifetime achievement and composer Hania Derej for her work in music. During the ceremony, Minister Cienkowska stated that the state should “create conditions for culture to flourish rather than merely treating it as a cost or decoration.”
