For years, it has been promoting the participation of digital artworks, which also include videos, new AI experiments and graphics.
Arte Laguna Prize is one of the most influential international contemporary art competitions, offering numerous opportunities to exhibit, expand one's network, gain global visibility, and access resources for professional development.
The award encompasses a wide range of artistic expressions: from the more traditional ones such as Painting, Sculpture, and Photography, to more contemporary languages such as Video Art, Short Films, and Performance.
Proposals in Virtual and Digital Art, Digital Graphics and Cartoons, Environmental Art (Land Art), Urban Art and Street Art, as well as a section dedicated to Design, are also accepted.
A network of opportunities
The Arte Laguna Prize is more than a competition; it is a network of opportunities realized through Special Prizes, collaborations with international partners who seek to discover new talent among the competition's entrants, and reward them with prestigious opportunities such as art residencies, gallery exhibitions, participation in festivals, and cash prizes for new artistic creations.
The Deadline for the applications is June 30th, 2026
