The Johnny Munkhammar Memorial Fund was founded by the Swedish Free Enterprise Foundation with the aim of honoring Johnny Munkhammar’s memory. Each year, a prize is awarded to the young person who during the year has worked best in the spirit of Johnny Munkhammar in the Swedish debate. This spirit is defined as ”free people in a free society with a free economy”. The slogan that Johnny Munkhammar used in his successful 2010 campaign for a seat in the Swedish Parliament, Freedom, Change, Entrepreneurship, is guiding.
