The art prize awards artists up to the age of 40 years, working in the fields of painting or drawing.
The competition is open to artists from Austria as a permanent participating country, the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and also to artists from Ukraine who currently reside in one of these countries.
The international jury members of STRABAG Artaward International 2023 – all experts of contemporary art from the participating countries – will select a main prize winner (€ 15.000) and four recognition prizes (€ 5.000 each). In addition, art works of the winners might be purchased for the STRABAG Artcollection.
After the award ceremony and the collective exhibition of all the prize-winning works, each of the five laureates will have a solo exhibition at STRABAG Artlounge in Vienna. The laureates can sign up for the artist-in-residence-program at STRABAG Artstudio in Vienna.
