The renowned Peruvian cook Gastón Acurio has been awarded one “Prince Claus of Netherlands” prize, under the category “Collective Memories and Journalism” due to his contribution to facilitate interaction between culture, nature and new ideas.

Acurio will receive the prize (which comes along with more than US $35,000) in December, in a ceremony to be held at the Embassy of Netherlands in Peru.

The highest prize, the “Great Prize Prince Claus” was awarded to Colombian architect Simón Vélez, recognizing his blend of aboriginal design, trendy technology and ecologic processes.

The “Prince of Claus” awards are given each year (since 1997) to artists, intellectuals and cultural organizations from Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean.
