This Contest for the best works of modern art, organized for the third time by T-Hrvatski Telekom – the leading provider of telecommunications services in Croatia and General Partner of the Museum of Contemporary Art, saw the participation of 232 artists of all ages and different approaches. This unique T-HT and MSU partner project, boasting the highest amounts for purchase of works of modern art ever awarded by a private company to a museum in Croatia, allowed artists to apply in the period from 10 October 2009 to 11 January 2010.
For this year's exhibition, 40 best works were picked by the International Expert Committee; the top three, to which purchase prizes in the amounts of HRK 75,000, 70,000 and 65,000 will be awarded, are going to be picked on 21 March 2010.
The selected works will be exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art from 26 February until 28 March 2010.
