For her social engagement!
There are people who fight for the good in the world - just like the heroes in the fairy tale. Pop singer Vicky Leandros (60) is one of them. Therefore, you have the "fairyland", the German center for fairytale culture, the "Golden Pea" awarded.
Every year, "Fairyland" honors people with this honorary prize, who are socially and culturally involved. Vicky Leandros supports the well-known action "A Heart for Children", is committed to children in Africa and supports the "Mentor Foundation", which is committed to the fight against the abuse of drugs in children and adolescents.
In her acceptance speech, Vicky Leandros said she wanted to pass on the "fairy-tale happiness" that she experienced in her life to others through her many "fairytale songs".
The entrepreneurs Alfred Theodor Ritter, Hermann Bühlbecker and Hans Georg Näder were also awarded the "Goldene Erbse" for their social commitment .
