British fund EMDASH founded the prize for young artists, which will be awarded during the country's largest contemporary art fairs, Frieze Art Fair. The Fund also intends to sponsor a program of Frieze Projects, under which the winner will show their works. EMDASH Award will replace the award Cartier, established in 2006.

judge applicants will be an international committee composed of artists and curators. Artists can apply who have not attained 35 years of age or have graduated from university less than five years ago from all countries except Britain. Projects will be considered solely for future work (rather than existing products). Preference will be given site-specific (ie, intended for a specific place) installations, performances, films, video and print media. Among the main criteria for selecting the winner - the innovative project and its feasibility in a fair Frieze.

author of the most interesting project will receive ten thousand pounds sterling to its implementation, as well as royalties. In addition, the London gallery Gasworks invite him to become a three-month resident of her.

Applications will be accepted until March 7, 2011. The winner will be announced in May. Details - site Frieze .
