Established in 2009, the Esterházy Art Award aims to support young, talented Hungarian artists and to promote international dialogue.
The competition is open to entries in the field of painting and painting-related techniques, as well as to space installations using these techniques. The prizes, each worth €5,000, are awarded every two years to a minimum of two and a maximum of three Hungarian artists under 45 years of age by an independent, international jury of experts. The shortlisted entries will once again be the subject of an exhibition at the Ludwig Museum – Museum of Contemporary Art.
