ceu art award 2026

The rapid growth to its current 700 members demonstrates that the time was more than ripe for this new and modern network of successful female entrepreneurs, which aims to promote women in business in a non-partisan and independent manner . The association sees itself as "The modern voice of female entrepreneurs in business, politics, and society."

In almost every industry, women face greater challenges than their male colleagues. The CeU loves Kunst award, presented for the fourth time in 2025 , specifically promotes and raises the profile of young female artists up to the age of 40.

The prize aims to show public appreciation for the winning female artists, to provide encouragement , and to set social and public standards . It makes women's artistic achievements visible and thus promotes their importance in business, politics, and society. The CeU loves Kunst Award is the only art prize in Germany that recognizes female artists under 40. 

We are delighted to have the competent support of art historian, columnist and CeU member Mon Muellerschoen, who is accompanying this art prize with her expertise and know-how.

With the vote of the CeU , the club will select the award winners for the 4th time in 2026.

Candidates can apply themselves or be nominated. The call for applications is advertised nationwide at CeU, by sponsors, partners, and in the media six months prior to the award ceremony.

The award ceremony and, above all, the event setting have the task of giving the prize special value and permanently giving a face to the appreciation shown to the artist.
