The award is given to artists below age of 35 whose works are shown at the fair. The Chemistry Gallery was awarded this award as all the artists presented by the gallery (both at the fair and also in general) are below the age of 35 so the jury of the award decided to appreciate concept of The Chemistry Gallery rather than give the award to one particular artist from this age category.
