The 2024/25 award winners are:

Hyelim Jeon (media art)
Ellen Kolbe (painting / printmaking)
Zoe Popp (photography)
Merlin Rainer (painting / printmaking)
Romina Vetter (book design / graphic design)

This year, the jury exceptionally selected five works from 62 submissions. In order to balance out the imbalance in the number of applicants - 34 out of 62 applications came from painting/graphics - two works from this subject area were awarded prizes, and one from each of the other three study programmes. Prize money totalling €10,000 was awarded - €2,000 per prizewinner.

This was the 18th time that the HGB Friends e.V. and Sparkasse Leipzig had organised the HGB Study Award. Applications were open to HGB students of all disciplines who have not yet registered for their diploma and are not master students.

Members of the 2024/25 study prize jury were
Daniela Adomat (Chairwoman of the HGB Circle of Friends), Gabriel Enrique Corredor Aristizabal (2024 prizewinner), Prof Kerstin Drechsel (Prorector HGB), Anna Jehle (Co-Director Kunsthalle Osnabrück), Ilse Lafer (Director HGB Gallery), Gregor Peschko (Initiator and Co-Curator Kunstraum IDEAL Leipzig)

Parallel to the Rundgang, the prize will be awarded on Thursday, 13 February at 5pm and the prizewinners' exhibition will be opened, which can then be seen in the hgb gallery until 1 March.
