Every two years the Cartazini gallery makes an award of 20 000 (euros) to an artist. Please note, this award is privately funded and no further sponsorships or commercial interests are sought.

The 'Cartazini Award' began in 1999 and was initially awarded posthumously, with the award being donated to related organizations and charities. From 2003 it was awarded to living, established artists. In 2007 it was awarded on the basis of a limted competition - open only to a pre-selected list of artists. The Award is an open competition - open to all artists and FREE to enter. It is being held again in 2013.
