.ART Award 2026 is a new global art prize celebrating how art is made, open to artists worldwide, working in any medium or art form. Instead of an application form, artists submit a digital presence, a website, portfolio, or social profile linked through a .ART domain, that documents their identity, process, and work as one continuous record.
The Award is open to individual artists and artist collectives from all backgrounds, including but not limited to different cultures, ethnicities, gender identities, and abilities. Applicants must be 18 years of age or older at the time of submission. Open to artists from all geographic regions — no restrictions based on nationality or place of residence. Multiple entries are permitted, as long as each submission — whether a single artwork, a series, or an artist’s overall practice — is presented on or linked to a separate .ART domain.
Winners revealed during Art Basel Miami on 3 December 2026.

- Grand Prize: 15,000 USD cash

- Artist Residency Award (Spain): A residency at Anfitrion in Marbella
