The YICCA Art Prize 24/25 is an international competition aimed at promoting contemporary artists and helping them expand their presence in the global art market. By offering a platform for various forms of modern artistic expression, including video, installations, and performance art, the contest attracts a diverse array of creative minds from around the world. This opportunity enables both established and emerging artists to showcase their work, fostering visibility and career growth through exhibitions in prominent European galleries. The competition is managed by the A.p.s.
