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 award gives the winner the opportunity to think and display an exhibition project in Trieste at the Studio Tommaseo and an exhibition catalogue is published. From 2013 the Award has become biennial.
