"STRABAG Kunstforum-founded in the 1990s, when the group was still headquartered in the Austrian town of Spittal/Drau-has successfully built bridges between the worlds of work and art, including via its annual art prize to support young artists. First awarded in 1994, the competition was initially limited to Austria. Since 2009, when it became the STRABAG Artaward International, the competition has served as an international platform for young talent across Europe."
"A main prize of €16,000 and four recognition prizes of €8,000 each will be awarded. In addition, artworks of the winners may be purchased for STRABAG Artcollection. The award ceremony and opening of the exhibition from the winning artists will take place on June 25th, 2026 at the STRABAG House in Vienna. A catalog will be published to accompany the exhibition."
STRABAG Kunstforum began in the 1990s in Spittal/Drau and linked corporate activity with contemporary art through an annual prize for emerging artists. The prize started in 1994 as an Austrian competition and expanded in 2009 into the STRABAG Artaward International for European talent. Eligibility covers artists up to 40 years old working in painting and drawing, broadly interpreted, who are citizens of or have resided at least two years in Austria, Germany or Slovenia. The 2026 jury comprises art experts from the participating countries. The award includes a €16,000 main prize, four €8,000 recognition prizes, potential acquisitions for the STRABAG Artcollection, an exhibition opening on June 25, 2026 in Vienna, and an accompanying catalog.
