Aesthetica Art Prize celebrates contemporary art in all its forms, offering opportunities for exhibition at a major public gallery alongside online publication and £10,000 prize money. The competition is open to works in any genre, and on any theme, however, Aesthetica is particularly interested in works that reflect upon the ever-changing world. Aesthetica is looking for pieces that challenge us – that redefine the parameters of contemporary art and compel audiences. Aesthetica Magazine celebrates creativity in all its forms – across multiple media including: Painting and Drawing; Video, Sculpture, Installation, Performance; Photography, Digital Art, Artists’ Film, Ceramics, Illustration, Mixed-Media and more. Prizes include £10,000 awarded to the Main Prize winner, £1,000 to the Emerging Prize Winner, as well as a group exhibition, and publications.
