2010 Kristján Guðmundsson, Island, för "his intriguing sound-absorbing paintings, made of acrylic on canvas mounted in metal panels, pursuing his unique explorations of the aesthetic dimension of painting and drawing with characteristic wit and visual sensibility."
2008 Torsten Andersson, Sverige, för "his matchless œuvre of painting that consolidates two absolute opposites, the general and the personal."
2006 Karin Mamma Andersson, Sverige, för "her imaginative revitalisation of the narrative and atmospheric potential of painting."
2004 Nina Roos, Finland, för [att hon]  "Over the past three ye ars ... has adopted a striking new orientation towards even greater cpmplexity in her treatment of some of painting's most difficult issues, and especially the disappearing instant. She has succeeded in developing something as rare as a new poetics of painting."
2002 Troels Wörsel, Danmark
2001 Jan Håfström, Sverige, för"[paintings], which - in an unassuming manner - can be Seen as an embodiment of the mystery of painting. Dry and executed with an apparent clumsiness, They draw us with irresistable seductiveness into a number of parallel tales about life, att and time."

Mottagare av andrapriset
2014 Sophie Tottie, Sverige, för "her painterly explorations that oscillate between being physical objekts in their own right and evoking or realities."

2010 Kristina Jansson, Sverige, för "her paintings that evoke a veritable echo of a place, strange, speechless, yet convincing and insistent."
2008 Jesper Just, Danmark, för "his video work A Viscious Undertow. The timing and rhythm in Just's film is characterised by a lingering narrative. The visual side of the film evokes a feeling that there is more going on than the film reveals."
2006 Eggert Pétursson, Island, för "his singular display of vegetation at close range, which has been his subject matter for as long as he can remember. Seen at a distance, his paintings seem to be abstractions, but close up They dissolve in endless realistic details of easily identifiable plants and flowers."
2004 Anette Harboe Flensburg, Danmark, för  "her series of interior scenes entitled Reception Rooms.

2001 Carolus Enckell, Finland
2000 Hreinn Friðfinnsson, Island, för "his three works (Placement, On a rainy day, Untitled) that ingeniously manifest the primary foundations of painting: the existence of colour in white light, made visible by refraction through a prism, the visual presence of colour on the surface, and the material presence of colour as pigment."

1998 Nina Roos, Finland

2012 Christian Schmidt-Rasmussen, Danmark, för "his visually and narratively taxing paintings. [His] recent series of works portrays a number of Danish suburban settings, where the apparently tranquil idyll is revealed as a complex space full of potential, possibilities and stories, emphasised by the subtle ylet distinct traces of a violent physical work process and unique contemporary pastorals with dramatic undercurrents."
2010 Felix Gmelin, Sverige, för "a work that is an almost archaeological exploration of the social and political ramifications of the tactility and expressiveness of painting."
2008 John Kørner, Danmark, för "a series of new paintings that explore the expressive possibilities that painting offers today with playfulness and precision."

2012 Klara Lidén, Sverige, för " her ingenious combination of readymades and minimalist painting. She removes thick layers of advertising posters from the walls of the city, covers the cut-out wads with blank white posters and thereby erases time and space from her objects."
2010 Marie Søndergaard Lolk, Danmark, för "her original contribution to the development of a painterly practice that is both process-oriented and satuarated in information. Her works explore the history of painting in subtle ways, while also displaying an impressive balance between conceptual clarity and material impenetrability."
2008 Nathalie Djurberg, Sverige, för "her animated film New Movements in Fashion, which superimposes the style-worlds of painting and fashion in a completely unique manner. With razor-sharp imagination and grotesque comedy, Djurberg conjures up the dark undertow of contemporary visual culture."
2006 Sirous Namazi, Sverige, för "two works... With unfailing humour, Namazi pairs the æstetics of minimalism with the ideology of failure, and the result is often an illusion on the margin of painting."
