Leading Swiss private banking group Julius Baer is inviting submissions for its inaugural Next Generation Art Prize for Southeast Asian artists specialising in digital mediums. The prize is open to artists aged 18-40 who have until 28 February 2021 to make their submissions.
In recognition of the shifting frontiers in life and work, entries should reflect at least one of the bank’s Next Generation investment themes: Arising Asia, Digital Disruption, Energy Transition, Feeding the World, Future Cities, Shifting Lifestyles and Inequality and finally, Sustainability.
The prize features two categories: Still Images (e.g. digital photography) and Moving Images (e.g. video art). Three winners—placed 1st, 2nd and 3rd—will be selected in each category and will each receive a cash prize of USD $15,000; USD $10,000 and USD $5,000 respectively. The judging panel will comprise some of the most influential curators and collectors known in the industry.
