Carinthia has many people of the heart to offer - as the nomination phase of the "Krone" campaign has proven. Now it's time for the next round: you decide which club should become Carinthia's "Herzensverein 2024"!

Our province is particularly passionate about clubs and associations: Thousands of Carinthians are involved in clubs on a daily basis, making a valuable contribution to society. This also creates friendships and enlivens local life!

Whether it's emergency organizations, cultural associations or associations that are committed to a good cause - everyone does valuable work and we would like to thank them together with our "Krone" family of readers!

Every vote counts
As of today, ten selected associations (see photos) are therefore in the big voting final - and you, dear readers, will decide which of them will receive the "Krone Heart Man Award" at the big gala in October. As a thank-you, prizes are of course waiting for the winners: the prizes are 5000, 3000 and 2000 euros.

Taking part is very easy (see below): So you are spoiled for choice until September 1 - every vote counts!
