In 2012, Henkel Central Eastern Europe (Henkel CEE) is announcing its call for entries to participate in the 11th Henkel Art.Award. competition for Central and Eastern Europe. The art award targets creative visual artists from 23 countries in the region. The prize is granted in cooperation with KulturKontakt Austria and the Museum of Modern Art in Vienna (Museum der Modernen Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien - mumok). The winner will not only be given a monetary prize of 7,000 euros, but an exhibition in his or her native country and an individual presentation at mumok in Vienna. Thus the total value of the art prize is 35,000 euros.
This year the Henkel Art.Award. will once again honor outstanding and innovative works submitted by visual artists in the fields of painting, drawing, photography, video and installation. A prominent international jury will convene in the summer of 2012 to nominate five finalists among all the entries to win the main prize. The winner will be announced at a gala ceremony to be held in Vienna in October 2012.
