about The IAA-New Generations

The IAA-New Generations is an annual international art award dedicated to recognize, honor and promote new voices, new generations, and new practices in art. Applications are open to all visual artists 18+ regardless of gender, country of origin/residence, sex, race, or religion.

The purpose of the IAA New Generations is to foster the rich and diverse ongoing contemporary art at an international level and to boost the careers of artists by giving them a platform for the exposure of their work, as well as a sound reference to add to their artistic career.

The art categories included in the IAA-New Generations are drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, video, mixed media, textile, and ceramics.

Each year, artists will be selected by a jury of well-respected art professionals. All selected artists will participate in an 12-week virtual exhibition in the IAA-New Generations virtual platform.

There will be three levels of art recognition: Finalists, Award Prize Winners, and Honorable Mentions.

All finalists selected will be granted with an official Certificate of Selection by the Jury and will have a permanent Finalist nomination in the IAA-New Generations webpage and in the IAA-New Generations social media platforms.

There will be three Award Prize Winners and three Honorable Mentions. The first place Winner will be awarded with a cash prize, and a curatorial critique by a recognized art critic for the winning work. They will also receive an Award Prize Winner commemorative plaque, an Award Prize Certificate of Participation, and a permanent level Prize Award nomination in the IAA-New Generations webpage and in the IAA-New Generations social media platforms.

The three Honorable Mentions will grant a curatorial critique by a recognized art critic for the winning work, an Honorable Mention commemorative plaque, an Honorable Mention Certificate of Participation, and a permanent Honorable Mention nomination in the IAA-New Generations webpage and in the IAA-New Generations social media platforms.
