Event History
Launched in 2022, the prize has grown into an international platform that celebrates emerging and established artists working at the intersection of art, society, and innovation. Each year, we spotlight a new global theme — from sustainability and identity to empowerment and digital transformation — and invite artists to respond through their unique mediums and perspectives. Our mission is to amplify underrepresented voices, promote ethical and inclusive artistic practices, and bridge tradition with innovation, the Beyond Future Art Prize empowers artists to envision and shape the world beyond tomorrow.
In an AI-powered world, sustainability is no longer just about reducing waste or protecting nature — it’s about building a future where humanity, creativity, and the natural world thrive together.
The 2025 Beyond Future Art Prize invites artists to explore this evolving vision. As artificial intelligence continues to reshape how we live, work, and create, we ask:
Can we build a future that puts ethics before efficiency, community before control, and regeneration before replication?
This year’s theme celebrates artists rooted in traditional media—painting, drawing, printmaking, analog photography, or hand-crafted techniques—who are now beginning to explore AI as a creative partner. Not to replace their artistic hand, but to expand their vision.
We welcome submissions that:
- Reflect on AI’s role in our relationship with nature
- Question the ethics of automation
- Envision inclusive, sustainable futures
- Reimagine creativity in a digitized world
Whether AI is your tool, your muse, or your mirror — we invite you to use it intentionally, critically, and creatively.
