.ART Award 2026
Inaugural global award marking the 10th anniversary of the .ART domain registry, open to artists worldwide across all disciplines including photography and lens-based work. A single overarching prize combines a $15,000 cash Grand Prize, one-month residencies at Château du Fresne near Paris and Anfitrion in Marbella, Spain (both with round-trip travel), editorial coverage in international art media, and a premium .ART domain valued at $10,000. Jury includes critic Jerry Saltz alongside curators and gallerists. Free to enter, but applicants must register and link a .ART domain to their portfolio; multiple entries are allowed, each needing its own domain. Submit an artist biography, artwork documentation, and a short narrative explaining the concept. Winners announced December 3, 2026 during Art Basel Miami.
