discover, recognise and give long-term support to a future generation of
artists. Judged by a distinguished jury, The Prize aims to make a major contribution
to the careers of younger artists involved in the dynamic cultural development
of societies in transition, many of whom have found it difficult to get their
voices heard. The competition is open to
all artists up to the age of 35 of all backgrounds, working in any medium,
anywhere in the world.
