The Nestroy Theatre Prize is an Austrian theatre award named after the poet Johann Nestroy.[1] In 2000, the city of Vienna decided to combine two less noticed theatre awards: the Kainz Medal and the Nestroy Ring for Viennese Satire.[1] The prize honours outstanding achievements at the Viennese and other Austrian theatres.[2] The prize has been awarded annually in eight up to fourteen categories. Its ceremony is held in Vienna and broadcast live on national television.[3]
