Kandinsky Prize for Contemporary Art
The Kandinsky Prize not only honors top artists but awards the winners with fifty-five thousand euros in prize money. The first awards were handed out in a ceremony at the Winzavod Contemporary Art Centre on 4 December 2007. The concept was created through a collaboration between the Art Chronika Culture Foundation and the Deutsche Bank AG. It offers four categories for artists’ submissions. The winners last year were Vladlena Gromova (Young Artist), Vladislav Mamyshev-Monroe (Media Art Project of the Year), Anatoly Osmolovsky (Artist of the Year) and Peter Goloschapov (People’s Choice Award). This year, more than three hundred entries were received and on 10 December 2008, the winners will be announced.
