Stroom Young Talent Award 2026

Congratulations to the new graduates! Last weekend, during the Graduation Show of the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, the Stroom Young Talent Award was presented to Bo Oskamp (BA Fine Arts), Anahita Karimi (BA Textile & Fashion), Lisa van den Berg (BA Photography), Emily Vassallo Medici (BA Interior Architecture & Furniture Design) and Stella Kechagioglou (MA Interior Architecture (INSIDE)).

In addition to a cash prize, the emerging artists will receive a year of mentorship from an established artist based in The Hague.

For this fifth edition, mentors Yaïr Callender and Marianna Maruyama will each guide two artists in the further development of their professional practice.

The one-year talent development programme will begin in September.
