Since 2007, the H13 Lower Austria Prize for Performance has been a fixed date on the calendar of Kunstraum Niederoesterreich. The aim of the prize endowed with 5.000 EUR is to spotlight the diversity of contemporary performance– in Austria and beyond. In addition to the prize money, the Kunstraum provides 3.000 EUR for the realization of the winning performance project and the accompanying exhibition. 

The premiere of the winning performance will take place in the context of the H13 award ceremony on Fri, 21.11.2025. An accompanying exhibition offers our audience the opportunity to engage with the content of the performance project and the artistic practice of the winner outside of the award ceremony itself.

As in the past two years, the Kunstraum will once again award the prize in cooperation with an internationally renowned partner institution – this time our partner is Studio Voltaire in London. In addition to the prize money, the H13 winner will undertake a residency at Studio Voltaire, which offers a wide range of opportunities for creative exchange and professional development.

As always, the open call for proposals for the H13 Lower Austria Prize for Performance does not stipulate any thematic scope. The open call starts on 27.02.2025. The deadline for submissions is 11.04.2025, and the winners will be announced at the end of May. 

>> You will find the open call 2025 here from 27.02.2025.
