We have reason to thank

We have a whole range of sponsors and supporters without whom blacksheep’s cultural work would not be possible. Our thanks go especially to the founder of the Young Talent Award, the Company Förch, but also to the Süwag, Haller Löwenbräu and Affaltrach Castle Winery. We would like to thank the Kulturstiftung der Kreissparkasse Heilbronn, which made this voting platform possible in 2020 with a donation.
