The 2024/25 German Art Prize went to Brandenburg, Baden-Württemberg, and Saxony.

Katerina Belkina (Werder/Havel) with her photo-digital art work “Greeting the Rising Star,” Siegfried Luffler (Ilshofen) with the sculpture “In Focus,” and Jens Pollak (Großpostwitz) with the painting “Balloons” made it. Among 180 applicants from over 20 nations, the artists living in eastern and southern Germany prevailed and can now call themselves winners of the 2024/25 German Art Prize. The award ceremony took place on June 21 at the Central Hotel Kaiserhof (Hanover). Over 560 works were submitted digitally.
In front of approximately 80 artists and guests, the spokesperson of the expert jury, Dr. Carsten Voss (Hanover) detailed the decisions of the seven-member expert jury. The three art prizes in the above-mentioned categories, each endowed with Gold Awards, were presented by the 2024/25 patron, Prince Heinrich of Hanover. The nominees present were also honored.
The application period for the 2025/26 ART PRIZE GERMANY runs until November 2, 2025.
Academically trained artists and self-taught professionals can submit up to five works (via photo upload) to this nationwide art competition using a digital application form. The art prize slogan is “Art powers future.”

An independent jury of experts will review the digitally submitted works on a large screen. They will then make the nomination decisions in the three art disciplines of painting, sculpture/object, and photography/digital art. The art prizes will be selected from the nominated works in a subsequent jury meeting. The organizer of the ART PRIZE GERMANY financially supports young artists up to the age of 35 – and waives the processing fee for a submitted work.
