# Jacob Korn to receive Dresden’s furtherance award 2012
We already told you: this guy [**Jacob Korn** is a talented fella][1]!
The Dresden-hailing producer was responsible for one of 2011's most
irresistible techno tracks, and the [video that came alongside his
single 'She'][1] left us rather impressed. And it seems as if the
**[Uncanny Valley][2]** collective member won't slow down in the new
year: his hometown, the city of Dresden, is now honoring his efforts
with its furtherance award 2012.
The award includes prize money of 5,000 Euros and will be awarded on
March 17th at Festspielhaus Hellerau. Since 1993, the prize honors the
artistic works of people or groups that focus on the city of Dresden as
their primary workbase. Jacob Korn, who studied media technology,
stated: "*I am delighted to receive this year's furtherance award. I
feel that this is a signal for Dresden's cultural policy, with the prize
not being awarded to the established arts (in 2012), but to a new art
form.*" The jury honored Korn as an "*exposed representative of a
cultural scene which improved its image during the last years and is
giving utterance to a young generation's cultural life.*"
Jacob Korn will be showing his talents during the next weeks with a
bunch of dj and live sets, catch up with him and the whole Uncanny
Valley crew at one of the dates below. Learn more about the label itself
by watching our recent [**Slices feature**][2] or listening to [**One
Day In Metropia**'s live set for Electronic Beats Radio][3].
