Call for entries from contemporary artists for the Coal Prize Art and Environment, an initiative led by the French organisation Coal, the coalition for art and sustainable development. An award of 10 000 Euros is offered.

Its goals are to promote and support the vital role which art and creation play in raising awareness, supporting concrete solutions and encouraging a culture of ecology. The winner is selected out of ten short-listed by a jury of well-known specialists in art, research, ecology and sustainable development
The 2013 Coal Prize will reward entries that focus on ADAPTATION issues.
Adaptation: This word is at the heart of contemporary thought and strategies used by nations, cities, businesses, and communities in order to cope with climate change. It is the subject of a movement, of appropriation, of adaptation by artistic creation. It is the term we have selected for the 2013 COAL Art and Environment Prize.
