The Foundation and the Hochschule der Bildenden Künste Saar (Saar Academy of Fine Arts and Design) award prizes to outstanding students
Joint-working with the HBK in Saarbrücken entered its eight year in 2019. Impressed by the creativity displayed by students and the co-operation displayed by their professors, we have the pleasure of supporting several students every year in their chosen fields of creativity.
It is obvious that the prizes awarded are improving the artistic development of students over the long term. Yet not only the winners benefit from this commitment by the Foundation, all participants, including faculty staff, rise to meet a creative challenge each year which also contributes towards the reputation enjoyed by Saarbrücken as a university location.
