Manor Cultural Prize (German: Manor Kunstpreis; French: Prix Manor) is a Swiss fine arts prize awarded every two years by the Manor (department store) alongside art museums in 12 Swiss cities, which was founded in 1982 in Lucerne. The goal is to promote emerging artists under the age of 40.
Manor Cultural Prize was founded in 1982 by Philippe Nordmann. The award includes a cash prize (roughly 15,000 Swiss francs), the acquisition of art for their museum art collection, an exhibition and published exhibition catalogue.
