The prize is awarded every two years to private individuals, businesses, associations and public organizations that have contributed in a special way to promoting research and teaching in the field of psychology. The DGPs emphasizes that In-Mind "succeeds in presenting current and challenging topics from psychological research to laypersons in an understandable and interesting way. As a result, they make a firm contribution to the psychological education of the public." Conny Herbert Antoni, President of the DGPs, says: "The professionalism of the In-Mind team in attracting and reviewing submissions as well as in the final editing and dissemination of In-Mind content is impressive. There is no doubt that all members of the team have considerable expertise in science communication."
