In the exhibition Season Highlights, four groups of Apprentices of the current season Apprentice Master are selected to make an exhibition at the end of each season in one of the four rooms in Kunstpodium T. The managing director and Yearmaster choose the four groups that have challenged themselves the most, both artistically and personally, and have shown the value of the collectivity of the project.
Over the past years, the prize has been awarded to individual Apprentices. The switch to groups was made in 2021.

Connected to the exhibition Season Highlights is the Jan Naaijkensprize: a prize for the preservation of artistic talent in Brabant and since 2014 connected to the Apprentice Master project. During the opening of Season Highlights, an independent jury announces one of the groups as the winner. The jury consists of diverse professionals from the art world. In 2022 the members of the jury were Simon Kentgens (artist, former Master), Floor Westerburgen (director Ateliers Tilburg) and Kiki Petratou (founder JOEY RAMOME gallery).
Kunstpodium T recognises and supports art talent with exchange of knowledge and experiment.
