Annual contest (miniprint + mixed media): read more in our FAQ
- There are four main prizes in each category (first, second, third and special prize).
- There are also six awards for excellence and honorary prizes each.
- There are four additional "Amber Awards" for color.
The
total value of the prizes is about EUR 2,000, in addition to the
non-quantifiable value of a PR release.
After
a basic selection of the original pictures, up to 50–100 finalists
(nominated artists) will be selected by an international First Juror.
All 24 prizes will be rewarded in the form of PR publication in
German on the Internet and a printed certificate. The first prizes
will be rewarded with a small solo exhibition.
The
posts will take the form of a guided meditation on art, in which the
award-winning image can be viewed mindfully. In addition, we will
report on the solo exhibitions. The winners will be informed when
their article is published. The
date of publication will depend on editorial decisions.
You
can get an idea of the content on our German blog if you use the
Google translation service on the bottom of the page or on the right
sidebar!
The
category
“Art excellence”
is promoted on our congratulations pages, so that these blog posts
can be shared or sent instead of a postcard greeting (example: "Für Kunstliebhaber").
All
award winners (and the jury members) will receive a certificate,
which we will send together with the art book.
