The Radoslav Putar Award in Croatia is the 3rd in a row of newly established awards in Europe. With it Croatia got its first and only annual national award for young visual artists, in a row of similar awards in CEE and the Balkan region.

The Award is named after Radoslav Putar, eminent art historian, critic and curator, who by his effort significantly directed Croatian culture towards the contemporary visual arts language.
