Each year, Henkel Central and Eastern Europe (Henkel CEE) based in Vienna, Austria invites artists from the Central and Eastern European countries to submit their works of art to win the Henkel Art.Award. prize competition. For the first time, artists from Central Asia were also invited to participate in the Henkel Art.Award., increasing the number of countries eligible to participate in the art prize to a total of 28. The Henkel Art.Award. encompasses three key aspects of modern art – drawing, photography and design – which will alternately serve as the main theme of the award every three years. In 2005, the second category of the three-year Henkel Art.Award. cycle was inaugurated, focusing on the field of modern drawing. The art prize, endowed with the sum of 5,000 Euro, is designed to promote artists in Central and Eastern Europe as well as in Central Asia.
