The prize winner Kyungrim Lim Jang stands at the speaker's table in the Anatomy Hall of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna with a microphone in her hand and reads out her performative speech. On the table in front of her is her artistic work and a bouquet of flowers. Four people can be seen sitting backwards at the benches listening to her.

Honouring the thinker, curator, author, and teacher Cathrin Pichler, this prize will be awarded this year for the seventh time to a student or alumni_alumnae of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, who - in the sense of Cathrin Pichler - deals with specific artistic methods and practices as contribution and intervention to scientific discourse. The prize is awarded for an existing artistic-scientific work/project.

The prize is endowed with € 2,500 - sponsored by the City of Vienna. The certificate will be awarded in the frame of a ceremony. The jury consisting of Dorit Margreiter, Anette Baldauf, Verena Kaspar-Eisert, Manuela Ammer, Magdalena Stöger, and Felicitas Thun-Hohenstein, will select the prize winner.
