Matthias Noggler Wins 2026 RLB Art Prize in Tyrol
The 2026 RLB Art Prize has been conferred upon Matthias Noggler, a biennial accolade from Raiffeisen-Landesbank Tirol aimed at artists with ties to Tyrol. Vik Bayer and Simona Obholzer received recognition prizes. This year’s iteration saw notable enhancements: the main award increased from €10,000 to €15,000, while recognition prizes rose from €4,000 to €6,000. Additionally, the applicant age limit was extended from 40 to 45. Out of 95 submissions, eligibility required either being born in Tyrol or residing there.
