Welcome to the International FiKVA Award for painters 2023!

The International FiKVA Award for painters 2023 is a global online competition, open to all artists age 18 or older, worldwide. Enter the paintings produced the last two years you are most proud of and you could win up to €5000 in cash and other prizes!

The FiKVA Award welcomes entries in all genres: modern, classical and imaginative realism, hyper-, photo- and surrealism – as long as the artwork reads as representational and not stylized or abstract.

No comics, airbrush, digital or mechanical work is accepted.

Works must be recent – produced between 2021 and 2023.

You must register and pay a registration fee to submit your work.

The top 35 works must be available for an online exhibition.

The deadline for entering the contest is: May 18th, 2023

All semi-finalists and winners will be informed about the results via email.

You can read our Open Call in your own language here after February 20, 2023.
