Inaugural City of Luxembourg People's Choice Award goes to Tine Krumhorn
The City of Luxembourg People's Choice Award – a new prize created by the City and the Cercle Artistique de Luxembourg (CAL) – was presented for the very first time at this year's Salon du CAL.
Visitors attending the Salon du CAL – which was held from 1 to 16 November 2025 at the Tramsschapp in Limpertsberg – had a chance to vote for their favourite artist from among the 44 artists whose work was on display. Over 1,300 visitors cast their vote.
The top spot went to Tine Krumhorn, winner of the inaugural City of Luxembourg People's Choice Award. The award was presented by Luxembourg City Mayor Lydie Polfer on Monday, 24 November 2025 at City Hall, with the College of Aldermen in attendance, as well as the members of the CAL Board of Directors, including their Chairman, Pierre Reuter.
The People's Choice Award, which will now be presented every year at the Salon du CAL, consists of a €5,000 prize that is funded by the City of Luxembourg.

Salon du CAL
The Salon du CAL is a prestigious contemporary-art exhibition that seeks to offer a representative picture of artistic creation in Luxembourg today. It serves as a forum for resident artists and guest artists from abroad.
The Salon du CAL is open to all disciplines in the visual arts and to all techniques, and welcomes works that reflect any aesthetic style or trend. Nevertheless, the works presented must meet stringent criteria in terms of artistic quality, research, innovation and originality.
Participating artists are selected by an independent panel of national and international experts.
