.ART Award 2026

The .ART Award, launched by the .ART domain registry to mark its 10th anniversary, is a global competition that celebrates the creative process behind artworks. Artists from any discipline, culture, or country are invited to submit a .ART domain—linked to a dedicated website, portfolio, or social media profile—that documents their practice. The award offers a $15,000 Grand Prize, a one‑month residency at Château du Fresne in France and a one‑month residency in Marbella, Spain, editorial coverage in Whitewall Magazine, and a premium .ART domain valued at $10,000. The competition is open to individual artists and collectives, all of whom must be 18 years or older. There are no nationality or residency restrictions, and multiple entries are allowed as long as each is presented on a separate .ART domain. The application process is free, requiring only the submission of the .ART domain and accompanying documentation. The award is judged by an international panel of leading art world figures, including Pulitzer‑winning critic Jerry Saltz and poet‑artist Sasha Stiles.
