The application phase for the ART PRIZE GERMANY 2025/26 has begun.
Academically trained artists and professional self-taught artists can take part in this national art competition with up to five works (via photo upload) using a digital application form. The art prize slogan is “Art powers future”. An independent jury of five experts will view the digitally submitted works on a large screen. It will then make the nomination decisions in the four art disciplines of painting, sculpture/object, photography/digital-art and graphics. From 2025 onwards, artists will have the opportunity to apply in these four art disciplines. The art prizes will be determined from around 30 works to be nominated in another jury meeting. The organizer of the GERMANY ART PRIZE supports young artists up to the age of 35 financially – and waives the processing fee for two submitted works.
