**The Art of Progress Prize – Open Call (Under 35)**

**€15,000 cash prize – International**

**Deadline**: 1 March 2026

The Art of Progress Prize supports emerging artists whose work explores **multisensory experience** and **sustainability** in broad, open, and imaginative ways.

We are interested in artistic practices that engage the senses — visually, spatially, materially, sonically, or experientially — and that reflect on ecological, environmental, or sustainable concerns across concept, material, and process.

**Submissions may include finished works as well as works in progress. In all cases, applicants are expected to demonstrate that the proposed work can be realistically completed and installed for the exhibition in June 2026, supported by appropriate visual or material documentation, where possible, to allow the Selection Committee to assess feasibility and execution capacity.** 

**What the Prize Offers**

*   **€15,000 cash prize** awarded to one artist
    
*   **10 shortlisted finalists**
    
*   **Exhibition opportunity** at our HQ in Switzerland in June 2026
    
*   **Year-long mentorship** and professional dialogue
    
*   International visibility through a respected selection committee and jury
