Deadline: November 15, 2025
Applications are open for the Beyond Future Art Prize 2025. The Beyond Future Art Prize was established to spotlight and support artists whose work reflects the urgent social, environmental, and technological challenges of our time. Rooted in the belief that art is a powerful force for transformation, the prize champions creativity that inspires change, sparks dialogue and reimagines sustainable futures.
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, they 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.
2025 Theme
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, they 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.
They 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 — they invite you to use it intentionally, critically, and creatively.
