The newly founded STRABAG Artaward International was awarded for the first time on June 4, 2009 in the Artlounge in the STRABAG House. As every year, Hans Peter Haselsteiner personally presented the award and the four recognitions to the young artists. 300 international guests from art and business attended the award ceremony. It is a cross-border art promotion award for artists up to forty years in the field of painting and drawing. This prize is a continuation of the previous STRABAG Artaward, which was given to Austrian artists for thirteen years, and is to be carried out for three years for four participating countries. From 2009 to 2011, artists from Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia are eligible to participate for the first time.
