9th Lumen Prize 2020 - call for entries

The Lumen Prize’s 9th Call for Entries – with a prize fund of US$11,500 – is now open. The Lumen Prize for Art and Technology celebrates the very best art created with technology through a global competition, exhibitions and events worldwide.

There are 9 awards to be won, including two new awards this year. Please scroll down for details of these prizes as well as this year’s eminent Jury Panel.

Lumen is more than a prize. All artists selected for the longlist, shortlist as well as the award winners are eligible for opportunities with Lumen Art Projects, our parent company, including commissions, exhibitions and events globally.

We know these are difficult times, with artists globally struggling with the effects of COVID-19 both personally and professionally. As a result, we have extended our 2020 Deadline to 12 June and cut the entry fee to US$38. We hope this will encourage you to dream up some incredible new work.
