The Federal Dance Jury will continue considering the works submitted for the 2015/16 and 2016/17 seasons until the end of the current season. In summer, the Stanley Thomas Johnson Foundation will also choose the winner of the June Johnson Dance Prize, for which the jury has drawn up a shortlist. The names of the award winners will be made public at the end of August. As with the last edition, the winner of the Swiss Grand Award for Dance 2017 will not be announced until the evening of the award ceremony. Submissions for the next Current Dance Works and Dance as Cultural Heritage competitions will once again open at the start of September on the Federal Office of Culture support platform.
