The OHO Group Award, established in 2005 by the P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Institute, is the central national award for young visual artists. The award is part of the Young Visual Artist Award international network which brings together NGOs from Central and Eastern Europe. The New York residency is organized in cooperation with our American partners Trust for Mutual Understanding New York and Residency Unlimited New York which coordinates the accommodation and creative work of artists in the USA. After a two-month art residency in New York, the winner will exhibit a solo presentation at the P74 Gallery in Ljubljana.
Sara Bezovšek (1993) is a visual artist, active in the fields of new media, experimental film and graphic design. In her artistic practice, she researches, stores, and collages visual references she encounters while browsing the web and watching movies and TV series. Through appropriation, she creates new narratives with an interest in the content people consume, what they share on social media, how visual material is broadcasted on the Internet, and how it changes and affects users in different contexts. In 2018, she received the ALUO Prešeren Award for the ZNAM mobile application, and held her first solo exhibition entitled (◉_◉) at the Aksioma Project Space in Ljubljana.

Danilo Milovanović (1992) is a visual artist whose creative practice is concerned with the public space and the relationships between its users. He applies a wide range of creative principles and media to his conceptual and street projects, from public actions and interventions to photography, video, printmaking, and collage. He has participated in several solo and group exhibitions in Belgrade, Ljubljana, Maribor, Ribnica, Novo mesto, Prague, Tel Aviv, Montevideo.
Špela Škulj (1982) is a visual artist, working within the field of contemporary photography and video. Her complex art projects are closest to the method of personal documentarism.
