Elysée Prize
The Elysée Prize for Painting, established to support emerging regional talent, is endowed with €10,000 and has already been awarded 12 times at universities in northern Germany to selected students.
The prize is decided by an independent jury made up of artists, art historians and cultural journalists. As part of the award ceremony, submitted works are displayed in an exhibition at the Galerie im Elysée.
After the Elysée Prize exhibition, selected works are purchased and incorporated into the Block Collection. They are permanently displayed in the corridors on the 5th floor of the Grand Elysée Hamburg and can be viewed there. An overview of past Elysée Prize winners can be found here.
