A Strabag Artaward
International a 40 év alatti képzőművészek festészeti és grafikai munkásságát
népszerűsítő díj. A díj a korábbi Strabag Művészeti Díj örököse, amelyet
osztrák, illetve magyar művészeknek ítéltek oda az elmúlt években.
Az új díjat négy ország művészei között osztják szét,
miközben a résztvevő országok három évente cserélődnek. (A Strabag SE
anyaországaként Ausztria állandó résztvevő.) A résztvevő országok 2009–2010
között: Ausztria, Magyarország, Cseh Köztársaság és Szlovákia. A pályázónak 40
év alattinak kell lennie, részt kellett vennie szakmai művészképzésben. A három
digitálisan beküldött pályaműnek 2008–2010 között kellett készülni, méretük
pedig nem haladhatja meg a 2,5×2 métert. Pályázni csak festménnyel vagy
grafikával lehet, installációkkal, videókkal, digitális printekkel és fotókkal
nem. A fődíj 15 000 euró, de négy 5000 eurós díjat is kioszt a szakmai zsűri.
Pályázni 2010. február 11.–március 7. között lehet a www.strabag-kunstforum.at
weboldalon.
A díjátadó ünnepséget 2010. június 17-én rendezik.
