Royal Award for Modern Painting 2023


JuliaKiryanova

The Royal Award is intended to encourage the work of young, talented painters active in the Netherlands. This prize is annually presented in autumn at the Royal Palace Amsterdam. On the same occasion, the King opens an exhibition of winning the artworks and a selection of paintings by other contenders.

Koninklijke Prijs 2021

Each year three young artists are presented with a Royal Award of € 9,000 tax-free. After the award ceremony the King will open the exhibition with works of the winners and nominees.  The list of nominees is carefully compiled by a professional jury through two judging rounds.

The Royal Award for Modern Painting is an incentive award that was created to encourage talented young painters who are active in the Netherlands in their artistic development. The Award was instituted in 1871 by HM King William III. After King William III it was continued by Queen Emma, Queen Wilhelmina, Queen Juliana and Queen Beatrix. They turned this into a true royal tradition. King Willem-Alexander has continued this tradition by presenting the Award in the Royal Palace Amsterdam.
