The Prize is a major contribution to the open participation of younger artists in the dynamic cultural development of societies in global transition.
The Prize is an innovative international award for artists up to 35 years of age, meant for the artistic development and new production of works.
Awarded through a competition, judged by a distinguished jury, founded on the idea of generosity, a network of outstanding patron artists and institutional partners, and a highly democratic application procedure.
