Hosted by Aesthetica Magazine, the Aesthetica Art Prize is a celebration of excellence in art from across the world. It offers both emerging and established artists the opportunity to showcase their work to a wider audience and further their engagement with the international art world.

The Art Prize is open to works in any genre, in any media, and on any theme. However, the organiser is particularly interested in works that reflect upon our ever changing world. Aesthetica is looking for pieces that challenge us – that redefine the parameters of contemporary art and compel audiences.

There are two awards:

• Main Art Prize
• Emerging Art Prize

The Emerging Art Prize is open to current students and artists who have graduated within the last two years. The Main Art Prize is open to all, including those eligible for the Emerging Art Prize.

Entry fees start from 25 GBP (approx. 32 USD).

Eligibility

Open to emerging and established artists from around the world.

Prize

Prizes include 10,000 GBP awarded to the Main Prize winner, 1,000 GBP to the Emerging Prize Winner, as well as a group exhibition, and publications within an inspiring anthology for 100 shortlisted practitioners.
