About
The .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, such as a website, portfolio, or social profile linked through a .ART domain, that documents their identity, process, and work. Multiple entries are permitted, provided each submission is linked to a separate .ART domain. Winners will be revealed during Art Basel Miami on December 3, 2026.
