For many years, The Prix de Lausanne has received financial support from the Municipality of Lausanne, the Loterie Romande and the Canton of Vaud, corresponding to one third of the budget.
The rest is covered by sponsors, patrons and donors.
While this cash budget for the 2008 competition amounts to CHF 1'150'000.-, an estimate of various contributions and services in kind provided by sponsors and patrons shows a global budget close to two millions Swiss Francs.
Among these services in kind, which constitute an essential contribution, one should mention by way of example the free tuition given by the schools providing scholarships and the invaluable assistance of many people working on a voluntary basis.
It is important to note that no funding is permanently guaranteed.
