THE DESTE PRIZE
The DESTE Prize was established in 1999 and is awarded every two years to a Greek artist living in Greece or abroad. The Prize aims to showcase the work of a new and emerging generation of artists and it is an integral part of the Foundation’s policy for supporting and promoting contemporary art in Greece.
A six-member Selection Committee comprising of Greek curators, critics, collectors and artists nominate 36 candidates (up to 40 years of age). From these candidates, six artists are shortlisted for the DESTE Prize and participate in the DESTE Prize exhibition. An international Jury of five members comprising of a distinguished team of museum directors, curators, art critics and the President of DESTE, Mr. Dakis Joannou, select the winner, who is presented with the amount of 10.000 Euros during an award ceremony.
