Otto Mauer Prize

The Msgr. Otto Mauer Prize was founded in 1981 with the intention of promoting young contemporary artists in continuation of the concerns of Monsignore Otto Mauer (1907–1973). The prize money comes from the Otto Mauer Fund, which was set up in 1980 as a foundation by the Archdiocese of Vienna .
