UNIQA Art Prize

The competition aims to award the UNIQA Art Prize to an Academy of Fine Arts Vienna graduate. The prize includes an exhibition at the UNIQA Tower and an accompanying publication.

The spatial conditions of the foyer in the UNIQA Tower in 1020 Vienna allow for the realization of artistic works, primarily in sculpture, video or digital art, and performance.

A five-member jury will select the most outstanding oeuvre presented in the portfolio from the submissions and recommend the most convincing design concept for implementation.

The UNIQA Art Prize was launched on the initiative of UNIQA Insurance Group AG in cooperation with the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. It will be awarded biennially.
