GERMANY ART PRIZE 2025/26
Using the digital APPLICATION FORM, academically trained artists, including young artists and professional autodidacts, can take part in this national art competition with up to five works (via photo upload). The art prize slogan is “Art powers future”. A five-member expert jury views the digitally submitted works on a large screen. They then make the nomination decisions in the four art disciplines of painting, sculpture/object, photography/digital art and graphics. The art prizes are determined from the approximately 30 nominated works in a further jury meeting. The GERMAN ART PRIZE financially supports young artists up to the age of 35 – and waives the processing fee for two submitted works.
With the 2025/26 ART PRIZE GERMANY, this art prize (until 2019 the “Worpswede Art Prize”) is in its 10th year of existence. A reception is planned in the beautiful mountain resort of Hahnenklee (a district of Goslar) in summer 2025 to mark the tenth anniversary. The participating artists, jury members, patrons, moderators, sponsors and employees are invited. Invitations will be sent out in May 2025.

The 2024/25 GERMANY ART PRIZE goes to Baden-Württemberg, Brandenburg and Saxony.
180 artists from Germany and abroad submitted over 560 works for the German Art Prize under the slogan “Art powers future.” Thirty-seven works were nominated by the seven-member expert jury in January 2025.
Siegfried Luffler from Ilshofen, with the sculpture “Im Fokus,” Katerina Belkina from Werder (Havel), with the digital art work “Greeting the Rising Star,” and Jens Pollak from Großpostwitz, with the painting “Luftballons”, made it through – and are the winners of the 2024/25 GERMANY ART PRIZE. The awards ceremony took place on June 21, 2025, at the Central Hotel Kaiserhof in Hannover. The nominees in attendance were also honored.
In front of some 80 artists and guests from Germany and abroad, the spokesperson of the expert jury, art historian Dr. Carsten Voss (Hannover), explained the jury’s decisions in detail. The three art prizes, each endowed with “Gold Awards,” in the categories of Painting, Sculpture/Object, and Photography/Digital Art, were presented by patron Heinrich Prince of Hannover. Art prize organizer Albin Homeyer thanked the participating artists, the jury members, the patron, the moderator, and all other participants for their commitment.
