ArtPrize is the world's largest art competition

On October 4, 2013 ArtPrize will award $560,000 in prizes. $360,000 determined by public vote, $200,000 awarded by a select group of art experts.

What makes ArtPrize unique?

1. Open Call: Anyone over the age of 18 can be an artist; any space in the ArtPrize district can be a venue.
2. Independently Organized: Artists and Venues register and connect on artprize.org.  Once connected, they organize their individual show.  The ArtPrize organization does not select any of the art or the venues that make up the exhibition.
3. Public Vote: The top award, $200,000 is decided by public vote.

The Juried Awards

Juried art competitions have long been an important component of the contemporary art world.  They have amplified the voice of leading art experts and catapulted the careers of the world’s most renowned artists.   

Introduced in 2012, a $100,000 Juried Grand Prize, put ArtPrize on par with the world’s major juried art competitions. ArtPrize also awards five additional $20,000 Juried Awards in the following categories:  2-D, 3-D, Urban Space, Time/Performance and Venue.
