The Trieste Contemporanea Committee assigns the Young European Artist Trieste Contemporanea Award to a young Central Eastern European artist with the aim of promoting his or her work on the international art scene. The prize gives the winner the possibility of thinking and displaying an exhibition project in Trieste at the Studio Tommaseo. A monographic catalogue is also published. From 2013 the Award has become biennial.
