guidelines for the artists

Early submission of entries ensures that any technical or organisational issues related to the staging of the nominees’ exhibition are handled by the artist together with Erarta Museum’s Curatorial Team in the most efficient way possible.

Only one artwork per artist will be featured in the exhibition. To improve the chances of being selected, every artist could submit up to three artworks. All artists that had been nominated for the previous editions of the Erarta Prize could also submit their entries for the 2026 Erarta Prize without including previously submitted artworks.

For the 2026 edition of the Prize, all nominated artists will enjoy the opportunity to sell their works featured in the exhibition through the agency of Erarta Museum. This means that from now on the viewers not only have their say in the prize money distribution but can also purchase their favourite artwork, lending additional support to its creator. All nominated exhibits that are sold prior to the awarding of the Prize will remain on display for the duration of the show and will be transferred to their new owners only after the project’s results are announced. Please inquire with the Erarta Prize Curatorial Team for more information.

The call for entries for the 2026 Erarta Prize has closed on 19 October 2025.
