The award serves to honor outstanding achievements, but also small everyday things that help to promote integration in Salzgitter and are of fundamental importance to the city. The prize can be awarded to individuals or groups of individuals, but also to associations that have distinguished themselves through such commitment.

The "Bunte Sole" 2026 prize will be awarded by the city of Salzgitter and the Citizens' Service for Migrants.
