GAUDENZ B. RUF

The Gaudenz B. Ruf Award

was set up in 2007 by a Swiss national who lived in Bulgaria from 1995 to 2000, during which time he became acquainted with the rich cultural life of the country and convinced of its artistic potential.

The Award is financed through a fund established in Switzerland.

The aim of the Award is to promote and propagate artistic expression in Bulgaria in the field of visual arts and to focus in particular on the younger generation.

The Award is granted annually to a young and to an advanced artist, within the framework of a competition.
